A Cast of Vultures (Sam Clair, #3)

A Cast of Vultures by Judith Flanders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As always Sam in good for a laugh. When Viv ask her to help break into a neighbors flat in order to do a wellness check, Sam can't image that her life will be in peril from the misguided B&E. The neighbor is found shortly after at The Junk Shop where some squatters live, and is supposedly the arsonist who set the shop on fire according to the police but those who knew him say NOT. The squatters say he was helping them stay in The Junk Shop legally. Viv insist he is a good guy and not a drug dealer. And Sam insist that the money under the bed wasn't there when she and Viv searched the place.

And then people start trying to kill Sam. But for someone who isn't very athletic she manages to avoid being murdered in a very Indiana Jones fashion. Finally the clues start to click into place for Sam but when she tries to tell Jake his own life is at risk and only the help of Sam (the teenage boy Sam befriended in A Bed of Scorpions) prevents Sam Clair and Jake from dying in a deadly blaze.
