Ishmael Jones and Penny are forced to investigate the rumors behind a haunted house with a team of amateur ghost hunters, and becomes haunted by his own past.
Betrayal abounds with death right and left, and it’s up to Edwin Drood and his wild witch to retrieve the Lazarus Stone that could rewrite history.
There’s a man, Dr. DOA, who gets away with murder, removing problems from other people’s lives. And the poison he’s used on Eddie is immune to any cure.
Eddie Drood, the very secret agent, is a dead man walking, poisoned by Dr. DOA. There is no cure, no treatment, no chance of a last-minute miracle. All he wants is to stop his killer.
Ishmael Jones travels to the Scottish Highlands on a mysterious dual mission: find the impostor, protect the entitled, uncover the truth of the Coronach Creature.
A rogue agent has come in from the cold and wants to spill his secrets, and Ishmael Jones is sent to ascertain his real identity only to fall into a menacing series of incidents.
Ishmael Jones is someone who can’t afford to be noticed, someone who lives under the radar, who drives on the dark side of the road until invited to the Colonel’s to solve his murder.
Supernatural arse kicker Eddie Drood must play the most dangerous Big Game that is probably rigged by The Powers That Be to save those he loves.
The overall kingdom is the continuing character here and present only in a vague sense as Green introduces us to yet another ruling family. Oh, boy. They’re certainly more “interesting” than most of our leaders and their families — despite what the Enquirer has to say!
An anthology of 17 short stories by Simon R. Green, one of which falls within the Secret Histories series about the Drood Family. There are a few which could be considered loosely affiliated.
