An Albuquerque ceramics dealer soon turns amateur sleuth after he gets a 3D-printed pot to die for. Hubie Schuze usually digs through the dirt—often illegally—to find the ancient ceramics he sells in his shop, Spirits in Clay. But thanks to his nephew, Tristan, a computer science student at the University of New Mexico, Hubie receives a unique 3D-printed pot. And after a photo of it runs in the local paper, it becomes a popular item. Unfortunately, the pot is sought-after by all the wrong people, and strange characters start darkening the doorway of Hubie's shop. They're willing to do anything to get their hands on the pot, and after Det. Whit Fletcher summons Hubie to the morgue, he discovers that includes murder. Now, to get to the bottom of things, Hubie must uncover what's so hot about this pot, before the cold-as-ice-killer strikes again. "Diverting. . . .
