It's always the same with dangerous adventures: They start off quite harmlessly. One fine autumn day, the famous ghosthunter Hetty Hyssop received a letter. It was from a certain Alvin Bigshot, manager of a posh seaside hotel that appeared to be suffering from a couple of small but unpleasant problems; problems that could only be explained as ghostly. Mr. Bigshot was therefore asking the experts at Hyssop & Co. for immediate — and above all discreet — help.
"Oh, yet another bouring old routine job!" Hetty Hyssop sighed. "But a seaside hotel doesn'T sound too bad. It's always nice to have a weekend by the sea."
Unfortunately in this case she was hugely mistaken. Hetty Hyssop passed on the news to her assistants, Tom and Hugo the ASG, packed her basic ghosthunting gear, and met the pair of them on Saturday on the train to bumblebeach. As I said before, it all started off quite harmlessly.
