About this listen

"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 Organization 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.

really enjoyed this book. the developing relationship is fun . I also enjoy the less than deferential attitude to the Colonel and the way Penny circumvents his authority.

the bond and banter.

A little too much retrospection making the story slow. I've enjoyed his other Ishmael Jones stories much more.

Not Simon Green's best storey

Suddenly realised that Ishmael and Penny remind me of Steed and his various female sidekicks!!!
Plot much the same as the first book - isolated house, puzzling goings-on, mounting body count, etc, etc, but with lots of interest along the way and a brilliant narrator ... let's see what the third instalment has to offer.

It's The Avengers all over again ...

Yet another blood bath to solve in a locked down at a debriefing of a traitor . Can Penny and Ishmael solve the crimes in time before the ghost of Parker kills all . Well read on and find out . A little similar to the first novel but still highly enjoyable
