    About this ebook

    This is the 24th book in the Neptune King series. The detectives are fast gaining a reputation for being the best. This book deals with a variety of missing person cases, which naturally, the solve with their usual aplomb.
    In THE CASE OF THE MISSING TOURISTS, Neptune and Shark are hired to find a couple of German tourists who went missing in the picturesque Lakes District, while Shark's brother Lance is also working on a missing persons case. Homeless people are disappearing from London. He thinks it's a serial killer at large. Is there a connection despite the difference in victim type? Lance soon finds out when he also becomes a victim and is abducted. His only hope is that Shark and Neptune realize he's missing and start looking for him before he suffers the ultimate sacrifice.
    In THE CASE OF THE RUNAWAY GIRL Neptune and Shark's protective instincts are aroused when they are hired to find a 14 year old runaway. All is not as it seems, when her Muslim background becomes a key factor in her disappearance. Shocked by her circumstances and that of her mother, they decide that this is one case that warrants extra effort, as they set about to not only locate the runaway, but also find her sister who had also runaway several years before. As always they triumph in the end but not necessarily to their client's satisfaction, especially when Shark shows the man how he deals with wife beaters.
    In the third story, ALL IN THE FAMILY, Sharks elder sister Gwenevere Robinson arrives at their office all the way from Australia, complete with her two sets of twins-four undisciplined unruly boys. A tornado would have been more welcome. Her husband Jim, had come to a medical conference in London and disappeared on the first day. She insists on staying with Shark, who has misgivings about that, worried how his wife would cope with Gwen's volatile moods. He under estimates Rebecca, after all, he didn't nickname her Spitfire for nothing. She has not problem dealing with Gwen and her children. Meantime Gwen hates the thought of Neptune being involved in the search for her husband, she'd prefer to keep it in the family, but they can't do it without Neptune's brilliance. Sparks fly between the two, until Gwen comes to realize just why the Johnson clan holds Neptune in such high regard. For Neptune's part he finds when Gwen isn't tormenting and insulting him, he actually-to his surprise-likes her.
