Description

“Call me Ishmael. Ishmael Jones. I am the man in the shadows, that even the shadows are afraid of. The secret agent whose life is the greatest secret of all. And some of the cases I work are trickier than others.”

A rogue agent has come in from the cold and wants to spill his secrets. The Organisation wants Ishmael to find out if Frank Parker is who he says he is, what he really knows, and why he has emerged from the shadows after all this time.

Ishmael heads to Ringstone Lodge in Yorkshire where Parker is being held to find that an atmosphere of fear and suspicion prevails. As he and his fellow residents are menaced by a series of alarming and inexplicable incidents, Ishmael sets out to prove that it’s human trickery rather than any supernatural being behind the seemingly ghostly goings-on. But matters take an unexpected turn when one of their number is brutally murdered, and once again Ishmael must turn detective in order to entrap a twisted killer before they strike again.

Review: DEAD MAN WALKING by Simon Green
[An Ishmael Jones Mystery #2]

Prolific author Simon Green combines science fiction, horror, and suspenseful mystery in this genre-blending series, which commenced with the wonderful THE DARK SIDE OF THE ROAD. Ishmael Jones is a secret agent's secret agent, in the employ of The Organization, an ultra-covert agency. Ishmael has not changed an iota since 1963, and with good reason. In this installment, he is tasked by his new handler to observe the progress of an interrogation in North Yorkshire, of someone purporting to be a former Organization special agent. But nothing is ever simple as it seems, and Ishmael and his sidekick Penny Belcourt are led quite the merry chase, for their sanity and their lives.
