The Misadventures of Callie Compton - Paperback

by Alyson Root (Author), Linda Slate (Editor)

It's not everyday you find out that your sweet, sweater knitting, church going grandma is the UK's most prolific crime boss. For Callie Compton, that day became a reality on her eighteenth birthday. Not being criminally inclined, Callie did the only thing she could. She bided her time, stole her grandma's little black book of scumbag employees, and ran for her life.

Six years later Callie finds herself in a small café in Sweden, her Spidey sense is tingling. Someone is watching her. How did they catch her trail? And what is she going to do next?

Daisy Simpson knew from the age of sixteen that Callie's grandma was a bad person, just like her own dad. How she regrets not telling Callie before leaving for university all those years ago. Maybe then Callie wouldn't have disappeared without telling her. Not only was Callie her best friend, and first unrequited love, she was also Daisy's biggest supporter. Being born deaf into a family like hers wasn't easy.

Using skills she's not at liberty to discuss, Daisy tracks Callie to Sweden. After a few days of playing hide and seek, Callie and Daisy are finally reunited. The duo set out to bring Betty, aka Queen B, to her knees. Easy, right? Wrong!

Callie and Daisy must navigate their growing feelings toward each other, deal with several less than happy women, overcome flooded caves and one raging bull. This is no adventure. It's quite the opposite.
