It was written with the Medium of Murder contest in mind, but I didn't make the cut. I wonder how many other authors used Medium in the context of cooked meat? Or in this case, a burnt body.
I liked the case-- an unidentified burnt man, but it was certainly a trick to come up with a reason for private eye Bo Fexler to investigate. So, I had some wealthy, eccentric old man hire her. It seems like a cop out, but it works all right, I think.
And the picture Yellow Mama has for it is cool-- though I don't know how it is the Bo never shows up as a blond. Honey blond, pale skin, and eyes like emeralds-- deep green, cold, and hard. Plus curves that are dangerous. Oh well, I still get a kick out of seeing a pic that goes with MY story. Makes me feel like I'm some sort of big-shot.
But really, I'm just a quiet, quilly person from a small town.

Sorry, the last comment had too many typos. Here's what I meant to say:
Nice story. The dialogue was really sharp. I like it that you're giving a shout out to the old masters of noir.
