Gold coins from a centuries-old sunken treasure ship have been found on the beach in Cawsand. This would be no cause for Tempest Michaels to take notice, but a man murdered by the ghost of a dead pirate come to claim back the gold? That ticks all his boxes.

Well, fat chance of that, because he is hip-deep in murderous ghosts before he finishes his second pint.

There is no client this time, just a definite need to find someone worthy of a jolly good punch in the pants.
