The Sam Applewhite series by Heide Goody and Iain Grant follows Sam Applewhite, a security consultant for DefCon4 who keeps getting pulled into mysteries far stranger than her job description covers. In the first book, Sealfinger, a client reports seeing ghosts in a graveyard — and then goes missing. Sam’s investigation, aided by her retired stage magician father and the owner of the town’s most outlandish junk shop, leads her through psychotic seals, unexploded munitions, and a corpse that refuses to stay dead.
The series runs seven books and blends mystery plotting with the dry humor that marks all of Goody and Grant’s work. Sam is a practical, no-nonsense protagonist who keeps her head while everything around her gets increasingly bizarre.
