Into the Thinnest of Air

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.

As fear and suspicion rise, it seems as if the inn’ s dark history has awakened to claim a new slew of victims.
