Ishmael Jones can't afford to be noticed. He's employed to search out secrets and shine a light in dark places. Sometimes he kills people. Invited by his employer, the enigmatic Colonel, to join him and his family for Christmas, Ishmael arrives at the grand but isolated manor in the midst of a blizzard to find that the Colonel has disappeared . . .Review Quotes
"A new book from Green is always a treat for SF and urban fantasy fans... His first foray into more traditional crime fiction (albeit with an otherworldly flavor) will delight mystery readers"-- "Library Journal Starred Review"
"Jones is most engaging when he smells blood, and readers will be anxious for a sequel"-- "Publishers Weekly"
"The suave, intelligent, hard-to-pin-down, British-accented Ishmael Jones, played by the reliable Scott McCormick, keeps strange hours because he leads a strange life. When his secretive boss, "the Colonel," sends him on an unexplained mission to an out-of-the-way English manor house, Jones's world gets even stranger. Plenty of layers of moody music and evocative background sounds such as screaming fires, monsters, and winds are provided as a group of "Clue" like characters searches every room for the killer among them. The producers of GraphicAudio are no strangers to mixing fantasy, horror, mystery, and superhero genres together. One could call this "graphic noir"--maybe not a pure genre, but pure horrific fun. B.P."-- "AudioFile"
"This novel "blew me away"! Seamless in exposition, convoluted in its mystery, extending clues cautiously, I found myself enrapt from Page 1. (I also discovered a new favorite author--yes, sometimes it only takes one story.)"-- "M Forbes, reviewer"
"Lighthearted, supernatural romp. Fans of the British TV series Torchwood will enjoy the irreverent, otherworldly protagonist"-- "Booklist"
