Too Many Crooks

Being used to a diet of organised crime, drug manufacturing, smuggling, and dealing in all its many forms, and attacks on them by assassins working for the Russian, and the Chinese, governments, all as a result of their association with Chief Inspector Macdonald, Sinead Grogan and Christopher Caine had been afraid they might find life boring when they gave up working for Macdonald and became private detectives, instead but they were wrong.
Fresh from their first success as private eyes Grogan and Caine found themselves surrounded by crooks aplenty when employed by the owner of a hotel in the Welsh Marches, which was up for sale, to investigate her staff, her guests, and her sister.
Some of the crooks were believed to have stolen phials of drugs from Porton Down and were being pursued by MI6, some, lurking in the vicinity of the hotel, had been driven out of their usual haunts by other criminals and were being pursued by the long arm of the law, but an arm with its fingers crossed and open to bribery. Some of the crooks were stealers of trifles to fund their way of life.
None were involved in the crime Private Eyes Grogan and Caine had been employed to investigate, however, as they found out when they went under-cover again, passing themselves off at a potential purchaser of the hotel in Sinead’s case, to see if that role brought about illegal approaches from anyone seeking to bypass their employer in the purchase of the hotel, and taking over the role of a fitness instructor to a group of teenage girls who were part of a youth camp in the grounds of the hotel in the case of Christopher Caine. Amongst this disparate group of guests and staff, however, were the crooks the private eyes did eventually bring to justice, but not for the crimes they’d been employed to investigate.
