Death Shall Come: Volume 4 - Paperback

by Simon R. Green (Author)

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 fourth book, Ishmael and his partner Penny are hired to investigate the provenance of Cleopatra's alleged sarcophagus, exhibited in a private collection at Caravan House. Their investigation quickly turns deadly when the sarcophagus is found open with no mummy and a brutally murdered corpse nearby. Naturally, whispers of deadly curses abound. But Ishmael knows the killer is all too real-- but who? A member of the Cardavan family? A thief willing to kill for treasure? Or something far more dangerous? Something that can be heard walking in the darkest corridors of Cardavan House, searching for its next victim... ?
