The Accidental Spy

So he outsources it to India.

That works out fine until Harvey discovers that a Russian intelligence agency owns the outsourcing company and that they are using him for a planned cyberattack on the U.S.

Harvey finds himself in a world of trouble. The FBI and the Russians have put the squeeze on him, and he’s fallen in love with the beautiful woman from New Delhi to whom he’s outsourced his job and who may or may not be a Russian agent.

The Last Speaker of Skalwegian

If Charlie can convince a judge that he’s the last speaker of Skalwegian, he’ll inherit a mineral-rich island off the coast of Norway, which he plans to give to charity. If Charlie fails, the island will go to a mobster and his wife. 

When Lenny learns that Charlie isn’t quite who he says he is, he faces a dilemma: Should he blow the whistle on Charlie, or should he break the law and stay with the project?

Lenny chooses the latter, and he subsequently loses his job and his girlfriend, becomes the unsuspecting object of several grotesquely unsuccessful attempts to kill him, and ends up fighting for his life as a reenactor in an uproariously inaccurate Revolutionary War battle

The Journalist

Writing for a cheesy Boston tabloid, Jeff Beekle fabricates a whimsical tale about a mob-built CIA prison for ghosts.

Which turns out to be true.

Now both the mob and the CIA have Jeff in their sights.

Even worse, Jeff discovers that his great-grandmother is an inmate and that she and the other spectral residents are being groomed as CIA spies. (And why not? They’re invisible, draw no salary, and won’t hop into bed with enemy agents.)

To his horror, Jeff learns that ancestors held too long in earthly captivity will vanish as if never born, taking with them all their descendants, including him.

Can Jeff outwit the mob and the CIA, free his ghostly ancestors, destroy the prison and save himself?
