Troubleshooter

by Alex Ames

Overview

All he wanted was a regular job...Paul Trouble may not hold the most exciting job in the world as a pencil pusher and finance controller in Strom Industries' Mergers and Acquisition department. But for the former elite soldier and CIA spy still mentally recovering from the injury that forced him out of the spy-game, this is his shot at a normal life in a normal job with normal problems-like enduring girlfriend troubles, despising his pompous boss, and being killed by Excel-induced boredom.One hundred million dollars missing...Until Strom Industries CEO asks him personally to investigate the mystery of one hundred million dollars missing from one of Strom's subsidiaries. Thrown back into cloak and dagger games, Paul assembles a small team to stir things up and discover who is behind the missing money. The plan is simple: Ask a few questions, make people nervous, and see what happens. Turning into a deadly cat and mouse game...What first looks like an inside job soon turns into murder and mayhem where pencil and stapler are exchanged with knives and bullets, giving a literal meaning to the term "troubleshooter."

About the Author

Alex Ames was born in 1964 in the Beatlemania / Babyboomer years and was raised with some of the greatest spy and action writers of the Sixties/Seventies/Eighties on his pillow.

He always dreamed to -but never dared to- become a famous jewel thief or computer hacker or super spy. After some consideration the only morally feasible option was to become a writer and to write something along the lines of "To Catch a Thief meets Stephanie Plum". Calendar Moonstone - acclaimed jewelry maker for the rich and royals and famous and part time cat burglar was born.

Alex currently lives in Munich, Germany. He passes the German Central Intelligence Agency every day commuting to work -- hey, isn't that another great opportunity for a story? What if... a boring accountant was a former spy and is involved in a work related mystery that will need all his skills... (read the result: "Troubleshooter")
