Sammy

The private detectives of Sammy and Marni's agency are happily engaged in collecting delinquent child support on a pro bono basis. But since Sammy can't refrain from opening his wallet to every struggling parent he meets, Marni is forced to tighten the purse strings. Whereupon Sammy discovers another income opportunity in ghostwriting a handbook on crime for Christian celebrity Anne Paget. Wading through the seamy underside of Christian ministry is disconcerting, but Sammy is not truly devastated until his dad, who is working for wealthy Dallas socialite Dolly Threlkeld, decides to marry her. Sammy: Love Shouldn't Hurt is Book 10 in the Sammy Series, which begins with Sammy: Dallas Detective. Book 11 is The Consolation of Bucephalus.
