Into the Thinnest of Air: Volume 5

Ishmael Jones is employed by a mysterious organization to search out secrets, investigate mysteries and shine a light in dark places. If at times Ishmael seems otherworldly, that’s because he is. He’s a ＂ superpowered alien in human skin＂ (Kirkus) with his own secrets. In the fifth book, Ishmael and his partner Penny set out for a relaxing countryside holiday at an historic inn with dark past. Shortly after they arrive, fellow guests begin mysteriously vanishing. As fear and suspicion rise, 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 that the key to solving the mystery lies not in the past but the present. With no bodies or clues, things have gotten a bit more interesting for Ishmael...
