Everybody had it. Nobody took it. Somebody's lying.
A routine inspection is finished. The circle is settled. Then somebody asks the question that has ruined more peaceful evenings than a knock at the door:
Who got the lighter?
John McRaw of the Pack Inspectors Bureau expects a simple answer. Instead, he gets conflicting colors, suspicious pockets, and three men searching the same couch like something new might turn up. When his own Bureau-issued lighter disappears, too, a four-dollar problem becomes an official investigation.
Across East Briar, New Jersey, lighters are vanishing from places nobody could have reached. The complaints stretch back decades. And a man called Pockets-with 162 lighters and some extremely flexible ideas about ownership-might actually be telling the truth.
Working alongside his partner, Harper, McRaw follows the evidence toward an old smoking circle, a grudge that outlived its owner, and something that knows exactly how to turn you had it last into a threat.
But every accusation makes the case worse. To solve it, the inspectors will have to question more than the suspects-including their own certainty.
Who Took My Lighter: Case File 003 is a supernatural stoner comedy mystery packed with sharp dialogue, familiar smoking-circle nonsense, and missing objects that mean far more than their price tags. Beneath the laughs is a story about friendship, blame, and how hard it can be to admit you were wrong.
Check your pockets before you accuse anybody. Then check them again.
