ISHMAEL JONES IS ON THE CASE. Paranormal private detective Ishmael Jones is invited to his employer's country house for Christmas just in time to become embroiled in a locked-room mystery with a supernatural twist. CALL HIM ISHMAEL . . . Ishmael Jones. He's used to keeping a low profile, living under the radar and on the dark side of the road. He makes his living solving mysteries and uncovering dark secrets some would prefer to stay hidden. But when he's invited by his employer--a man known only as "The Colonel"--to spend Christmas at the Colonel's sprawling country house, Ishmael Jones decides to come in from the dark for some holiday cheer. Jones arrives at the remote Belancourt Manor in the midst of a blizzard only to discover that the Colonel has gone missing. It soon becomes clear that the guests are harboring dark secrets--and that it will be up to Ishmael Jones to stop a savage killer. A locked-room, country house mystery with a supernatural twist as only Simon R. Green could write it. Praise for The Dark Side of the Road : "[A] brisk, breezy first in a new mystery series . . . With convincing supernatural twists [and] witty chapter titles . . . readers will be anxious for a sequel." -- Publishers Weekly "Genre-blending author Green introduces another wisecracking protagonist, Ishmael Jones . . . Fans of the British TV series Torchwood will enjoy the irreverent, otherworldly protagonist." -- Booklist "A new book from Green is always a treat for SF and urban fantasy fans, because they know that in his fictional worlds things are never quite what they seem until it's too late. His first foray into more traditional crime fiction (albeit with an otherworldy flavor) will delight mystery readers, especially those who relish a bit of genre blending." -- Library Journal "Pure horrific fun." --Audio File Magazine "Without a doubt, this is one of the best books the author has ever penned down." --The Gatehouse "I really enjoyed the book. If anything it was over too soon. The author captures the English Country Manor Murder Mystery feel very well, as he sets up pretty much everybody as a suspect . . . I look forward to finding out more in future volumes." --British Fantasy Society "The first book in the Ishmael Jones' series had a great set of mysteries that left you dying to know what was going on." --Creature From The Book Lagoon Praise for Jekyll & Hyde Inc. : "This book is hard to put down. It is exciting from start to finish, with thrills and monsters waiting behind every dark corner." --San Francisco Book Review "Green transforms Robert Lewis Stevenson's classic horror novel into the launch pad for an exciting adventure. He takes readers through a romp involving multiple horror classics, updated to the twenty-first century in an amusing and entertaining read." --Ricochet "There's something about Green's dark humor that sucks me into many of his books. And, as violent and gory as this book is, it's really about a good man striving to stay good in the worst circumstances." --Lesa's Book Critiques "It has all the grim and all the dark of many of the author's previous series." --Reading Reality Praise for the Deathstalker series: "Green moves his plot at top speed, and his characters are alive and his background solid." --Asimov's SF Magazine "A huge SF novel of sweeping scope, told with a strong sense of legend... some old-fashioned heroes and a theme of honor -- and for the most part, it works." --Locus "Green writes great space opera, with blasters and swords and heroes that kick butt around the galaxy." --SF Site "An over-the-top masterpiece that veers between brutal comedy and touching riffs on love, loyalty and betrayal . . . bloody funny and extremely bloody." --The Guardian "One of the few writers still
