Welcome to this short stand-alone adventure for beleaguered paranormal investigator, Samuel C Spallucci.

When Sam's best friend drags him off on an impromptu holiday to a small island off the west coast of Scotland, he expects the worse that could possibly happen would be delays along the scenic route past the Largs Pencil Monument or a funny look from Maurice the Sheep.

What he encounters, though, is a small island overwhelmed with pirate wannabes awaiting the arrival of a ghostly galleon.

Including characters and locations from Douglas Lindsay's Barney Thomson series, this quirkily humorous crossover takes place shortly before The Casebook of Sam Spallucci.
