Troubleshooter Series

X-Files meets Buffy meets Stranger Things meets Men in Black Hawthorne High is not Sally Storm’s favorite spot in the world. Nothing going on, an overzealous deputy principal, obnoxious football jocks, and cheerleaders that get on your nerves. And Sally is stuck at a back-row table beside the class genius Ryan Montgomery. When the school’s janitor is mysteriously attacked in the basement, it’s written off as the result of a drunken stumble and an overeager dog’s scratches. How convenient! But not everyone is convinced, and curious Sally starts to investigate, and ends up making a hair-raising discovery! Monsters don’t exist. That’s what you believe. That’s what Sally believes. Because your parents told you so over and over again. The only time when you take monsters seriously is in a scary Hollywood movie; but it is one thing to get light chills of fright in a comfortable seating, and quite other to face monsters in real life! Do monsters exist, after all? There’s only one way to find out! With the help of her newly-found genius friends Ryan and the monosyllabic, gentle giant Moe, Sally sets out to face whatever it is in the basement.

Paul Trouble, former elite soldier and retired spy master, is Strom Industries’ troubleshooter and fixer for dodgy situations, still recoving from the aftershocks of losing his left hand. He is the accountant you want to have by your side when bullets and knives replace Excel spreadsheets and paper staplers. Read the full length novels TROUBLESHOOTER, TROUBLEMAKER, and TROUBLESEEKER for his regular troubleshooting adventures. The four novellas in this collection show faces of Paul Trouble you have not seen before: Fast Trouble: Paul Trouble and his trusted young sidekick Tom Chan need to solve a Strom Industries corporate issue in Brazil during a short stop-over. Private Trouble: Paul as a cocky young Marine helping out his girlfriend after a robbery. A Trouble Termination: Paul is back on the job after he lost his left hand to the hammer-blows of mad arms-dealer Picard. A Parisian operation tests his operational skills to the limits. Trouble at Christmas: Trouble will find Paul during his Christmas vacations back home in Montana, reconnecting him with a life he thought he had left behind twenty years ago.

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 the 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.” Troubleshooter is the first Paul Trouble corporate thriller by author Alex Ames.
