Descripción editorial
Returning to the small town where he crash-landed in 1963, Ishmael Jones is in search of answers. But his investigation is de-railed by a brutal murder.
“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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
British author Green starts to provide some answers about his unusual sleuth in his intriguing 10th mystery featuring alien-in-disguise Ishmael Jones (after 2020's The House on Widows Hill). Jones, apparently the sole survivor of an extraterrestrial spaceship that crashed in the English countryside in 1963, was transformed by the craft's artificial intelligence into human form, became a successful operative for secret underground organizations, and acquired a romantic partner, Penny Belcourt. Fifty years after his arrival on Earth, Jones learns that another of his kind survived the crash, and journeys with Penny to Norton Hedley, the town nearest the crash site, in search of more information. Instead, Jones finds odd locals, unexplained disappearances (some of which predate the aliens' arrival), reports of claw marks from unidentified creatures, and a ghostly manor that burned down centuries earlier. Jones hopes that a Norton Hedley resident, an expert on UFOs and folklore, can help, but instead he ends up a prime suspect in multiple murders. Green offers enough to please series fans and hook newcomers, while posing new mysteries. X-Files devotees will be satisfied.
