Sam Applewhite is paid to take care of those dull jobs that companies outsource.

Nobody warned her where they’d lead.

Sam works alone as a security consultant on the Lincolnshire coast, taking instructions from employers she has never met and carrying out assignments whose purpose is often far from clear.

When an elderly client disappears after reporting ghosts in a graveyard, Sam is the only person who suspects foul play. Her search for the truth draws her into a case involving unexploded munitions, psychotic seals and a corpse that refuses to stay buried.

But that’s only the beginning.

A series of deaths leads back to a seaside retirement village. A suspicious burglary exposes the secrets of a wealthy aristocratic family. Then an armed robber takes hostages at a local bank—with Sam’s retired stage-magician father caught in the middle.

The police may believe they have matters under control. Sam knows better.

Assisted—and frequently hindered—by her father, a family of modern-day vikings and the assorted eccentrics of Skegness, Sam finds herself caught up in greed, privilege, desperation and some spectacularly poor decision-making.

This bundle contains the first four Sam Applewhite comic crime novels:
