CSCI Cruise Ship Crime Investigators

Life has never been kind to Violet. This is her one big chance, and she is going to take it even if confusion and damage will almost certainly be left in her wake. No two mental health problems are the same. How Violet became agoraphobic is something you might understand by the end, but what the COVID-19 lockdown did for her, someone already locked down was amazing. For the first time people on television were talking to her, they shared her problem, she felt someone cared. For the first time, from her only window, she could see something, and something non-threatening; ships. These ships, parked in the bay became her friends. She felt so close to them that when the first one left she was heartbroken. She had learned every detail of that ship as if she knew it like a sister. She knew the deck plans, the facilities, and she knew she could live inside without ever seeing the sky. For her, it was time to venture out, to meet her friend the ship. But as much as she was to force herself to get out and discover life, it is possible she should never have ever been allowed to leave the secure unit she inhabited for so many years. Violet is ready to discover a life she never had, a life beyond that inside her head. The time has to be now or never, while she is young enough because sixty is not too old. She is not old. She is ready for the world if the world is ready for her. COVID-19 knocked holes into the cruise industry's image. Now they have Violet. She is a nuisance and maybe on the verge of being dangerous to other guests, but so far she has committed no crime. The unpredictable woman has booked a very long cruise; The Canaries, onto the Baltic then an Atlantic Crossing into the Caribbean Season. They need her monitored with kid gloves and they don't have the staff. CSCI Cruise Ship Crime Investigators find themselves charged with the strangest contract yet, but it may be the most testing.
