Synopsis
What lurks in the shadows at the Royal Navy Historic Dockyard? Is it something evil and malignant? Will it suck at your soul? No, because it will be some idiot in a costume, same as always.
Tempest Michaels is going undercover with best friend Big Ben to find out why his Dad was found unconscious and stuffed into a wheelie bin. There is no client this time, just a definite need to find someone worthy of a jolly good punch in the pants.
With strange noises coming through the floor of the rigging room and reports of ghosts seen at night wearing the uniform of 18th Century Royal Navy Officers, the chaps set out to unravel the mystery, but is there more going on than a simple fake haunting? Also, what do the old Navy boys mean by their offer of help? And why are so many of the employees Ukrainian?
It's going to take more than a determined approach and Big Ben's top chat-up lines to get through this one. Plus, it's Jagjit's wedding next weekend which means a Batchelor party in four days' time.
Will he survive the anti-Army banter of the old Navy boys? Will Big Ben copulate with every single woman on the night-shift cleaning crew?
Join them as we find out just what is causing the Whispers in the Rigging
Praise for the Harper Files series and Steve Higgs:
'Be prepared to struggle with getting anything else done, as you will want to keep reading.'
'Supernatural overtones with a hint of sexual tension, interspersed with humor make this a fantastic book.'
'Truly delightful tales of mystery and misadventure.'
'Higgs is a wonderful author with great character development which includes an enticing cast of misfits.'
'A great crime comedy with a group of zany characters. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one. Highly recommended!'
‘Do NOT have a hot beverage nearby when reading this book! The characters are exceptional and many of the situations are just too funny for words.'
‘Nobody does this light touch comedy-mystery quite like Steve Higgs.'
'Higgs makes everything and everyone come alive.'
Warning: This book contains some mild cussing and sexual references. Nothing that would be R rated but I would not let my nine-year-old niece read it.
