Description
“I think something very bad and very dangerous has come to your little town, Inspector . . .”
As long-buried memories from his hidden past begin to resurface, Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny feel compelled to return to the small country town where Ishmael crash-landed in 1963; the place where his memories began.
Norton Hedley is no ordinary town. Apparitions, sudden disappearances, sightings of unusual beasts: for centuries, the place has been plagued by a series of inexplicable events. Ishmael’s first task is to track down local author Vincent Smith, the one man he believes may have some answers.
Ishmael and Penny aren’t the only ones seeking the mysterious Mr Smith. When their search unearths a newly-dead body in the local mortuary – a body that’s definitely not supposed to be there – Ishmael becomes the prime suspect in the ensuing murder investigation. His only hope of discovering the truth about his origins lies in exposing a ruthless killer.

A Giant Leap Forward
These books were getting fairly repetitive, with slight individual stories, and little movement forward on the larger mystery surrounding Jones. Well, after the usual opening recap, this book takes a substantial leap forward on the questions surrounding Jones' identity and background. Lots of surprises and clever twists. We may be getting close to the end of the series; maybe not. But at least we've picked up the pace and added a little more juice to the project.

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny are being drawn to a small town where Ishmael has memories of his past. When they arrive in town to speak to an author of UFO's and strange happenings, they discover he died the day before under mysterious circumstances. After going to the morgue to check his body for signs they discover another dead body and the one they were looking for gone.
Although not my usual genre I enjoyed this light hearted story. A interesting and quick read that will keep readers engaged until the end.

I am a huge fan of Simon R Green’s Nightside series. I hadn’t read any other books or series. This was my first book in the Ishmael Jones series. I was a bit worried since it’s far from the first book, but this can be read as a standalone novel.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved Ishmael and Penny’s relationship. It wasn’t over the top romance by any means. But the couple was genuine and I liked their banter back and forth.
This was a little bit of everything; horror, sci-fi, murder mystery. I’ll be reading more from the series.
