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.

Meet Sam Applewhite, a security consultant with no staff, no resources, and some big jobs to tackle. When an armed robber targets a local bank, things quickly go wrong and hostages are taken. Sam’s stage magician dad is in the firing line and no magic tricks are going to get him out of this situation. The police say they’ve got things under control, but Sam knows there’s something strange going on. Why has a law-abiding man suddenly turned to crime? How can it be an armed robbery if the robber has left his gun at home? Sam has to put the pieces together before it’s too late.
