Into the Thinnest of Air

The New York Times bestselling author continues his genre-bending Ishmael Jones noir mystery series in a tale of missing persons and murder... For otherworldly investigator Ishmael Jones, a chance to get away to the relaxing countryside doesn't come along every day—or ever, actually. His paramour Penny is taking him to the grand reopening of the historic Cornwall inn known as Tyrone's Castle—a place with a long, dark history of smugglers, murderers, and sinister spirits. What could go wrong? A great deal, as it turns out. It begins after a cordial dinner with the other guests, when one of the hosts disappears without a trace before she can even finish her dessert. As fear and suspicion begin to infiltrate the inn, another person vanishes, and it seems as if the inn's dark history has awakened to claim a new slew of victims. Ishmael doesn't believe there's anything supernatural or ghostly behind the night's events. And the more he learns, the more he's certain that the key to solving the mystery lies not in the past but the present. Unfortunately, he has no bodies, no clues, no witnesses...no evidence of any chicanery whatsoever. But for a man like Ishmael, that just makes things a little more interesting...
