What to expect
Or maybe not …
When teenager Benji Hammerton goes worryingly quiet, his parents turn to the one person who might be able to help - Agatha Pleasant, an ageing government agent who operates largely in the shadows. As luck would have it, Agatha has a batch of new recruits at her disposal. Untapped potential desperately in need of work experience.
Her Nearly Dearly Departed Club.
Their search takes them to Stainmouth, a bleak town with little to offer except bitter winds and a toxic atmosphere. With a life hanging in the balance, they hunt tirelessly for the missing boy. As tensions mount, and the risks start to outweigh the rewards, the team question their involvement. Their purpose. Their future. Is any of it really worth dying for?
Especially when you’re dead already…
The Nearly Dearly Departed Club is the first instalment in the unputdowanble crime thriller series from Anthony Grace.
