Murder Most Olympic Book Seven Of The Sandie Shaw Mysteries

There’s a wedding in England! But for Sandie, Daphne and Archie, getting there is to prove a little more dangerous than they imagined. Archie and Rose are tying the knot in Windsor. For Sandie and the team (plus Frank, who gets dragged along) they’re anticipating a joyous time. Until it all turns a lot scarier. Boarding the RMS Olympic for the passage to England, none of them realize a life-threatening event lies just over the horizon. Two other passengers are hiding a big secret. It might have stayed a secret if one of them hadn’t got himself murdered on the second day of the voyage. The only people aboard with any experience of tackling such things are Sandie and her team, and even off-duty they’re not prepared to ignore a crime that needs solving. The murderer doesn’t have many places to hide, and for sure not very far to run, but it isn’t going to stay that way indefinitely. Once the ship docks in Southampton the killer may easily escape, never to be seen again. There’s another complication. Until they make landfall, with an unknown murderer on the loose, every passenger and crew-member is at risk. Can Chicago’s finest private investigators unearth the secret and discover the culprit in this time-limited case? It’s not going to be easy.

Babysitting is never as easy as it seems. When the ‘baby’ is in her late teens, and determined to show everyone she’s older than she really is, things can get a little out of control! Frank makes a special request to Sandie and the team, asking them to babysit a key witness, whose testimony will send a Miami crime boss down for a very long time. The FBI has kept her a secret, setting up a decoy to make sure she actually gets to Miami to give her evidence. No one else knows she’s anything other than a teenager off for a beach holiday. The problem is she lives in Chicago, and it’s rather a long way from Florida. So the deMountford and Shaw Private Investigations Agency are tasked with accompanying her on the Florida Limited night sleeper train, and keeping an eye on her in Miami until she gives evidence, after which the FBI will take over protection duties, once her identity is revealed. It seems like a simple babysitting job, until they discover the girl is determined to make the most of a few days away from her parents, and reap as much benefit from her trip as she can. None of them have any experience of controlling a rampant, precocious teenager, who seems committed to getting herself as noticed as possible! It’s not the best idea when she’s holding the key to taking down one of the most ruthless men in America. Especially when things turn a lot more dangerous, and Sandie and Daphne find themselves as much on their own as they’ve ever been.

A face from the past appears at a glitzy, high-society Christmas party in Chicago. An hour later, a body is found floating in the swimming pool. Are the two things connected? Sandie and the team have been invited to a glittering festive party by a wealthy new client, who suspects her husband of being unfaithful. The object of his desires is also there, and the client thinks it a good idea for the guys to observe them at play, and see if they do anything to give themselves away. Someone else is also present. Someone who knows too much about one of the team’s very personal past life. Coming out of the blue, it is a disturbing and unexpected development. Then, as the merry-making continues, things turn even more worrying. A body is found floating in their swimming pool. Sandie is convinced the mysterious stranger and the dead body are connected. There is no evidence to suggest that, but the face from the past is a coincidence she can’t ignore, as well as a real threat to one of the team. To make life even scarier, before the police arrive on the scene the stranger has disappeared into the night. The feeling won’t go away there is a link. But with precious little in the way of hard facts, it’s going to take a huge effort to unravel the thread that ties things together. Especially when matters become an awful lot more complicated… Check out the Sandie Shaw series on the rtgreen website. And enjoy!

Revenge can be a force hard to fight. When it’s a family matter, sometimes it works both ways. Even after nine years. Sandie and Daphne discover their office has been wrecked. It’s one day after the crime boss who Sandie’s father was responsible for putting away died in prison. Nine years have passed since he brought down the family, and lost his life in doing it. It was the tragic event that led to Sandie taking over the family business. For a year afterwards the need for revenge burned away inside her. Then she accepted she’d already got it. The family had been destroyed because of her father’s determination to take them down. The head of the family and his eldest son were incarcerated for a long time. The hoods who worked for them but escaped prison went to work for Capone or Moran. The family was no more. Or so Sandie thought. The wrecked office is a sign someone hasn’t got closure. It’s not difficult to work out who it is. The boss’s second son, considered by his father too soft to join the family business, is out to prove he isn’t soft at all. It’s a dangerous scenario. The message left in the office places a target squarely on Sandie’s back. If she doesn’t implicate him before he takes the ultimate revenge, lives will be at risk. She’s all too aware that someone out to prove he’s got what it takes, when in reality he hasn’t, makes him the worst kind of loose cannon. The old feelings have returned with a vengeance. When it’s a family matter, sometimes it works both ways… Check out everything we do on the rtgreen website. And enjoy!

Little do they realise their act of compassion will lead to a startling discovery. Investigating an accident that might not have been, they spot a face from their recent past.
