Although he hasn't seen Robert Bergin for 40 years, Ishmael feels duty bound to respond when his old friend calls for help. Robert's daughter Gillian is about to be married, and he is afraid she'll fall prey to the ancient family curse.
Arriving in rural Yorkshire, Ishmael and his partner Penny learn that the vicar who was to perform the ceremony has been found dead in the church, hanging from his own bell rope. With no clues, no evidence and no known motive, many locals believe the curse is responsible. Or is someone just using it as a smokescreen for murder? With the wedding due to take place the following day, Ishmael has just a few hours to uncover the truth.

Supernatural investigator Ishmael Jones (Into the Thinnest of Air, 2018) is an anomaly in his line of work in that he both investigates paranormal activities and is an actual being from another planet who has been roaming the earth for decades in his never-aging human form. In his sixth adventure, Jones and girlfriend Penny (perfectly human and independently wealthy) help Ishmael's old partner find a murderer. Robert Bergin's daughter may be falling under a centuries-old family curse that dooms any groom who marries into the family to die on his wedding night. The vicar who was to perform the ceremony for his daughter has already been murdered, and Robert is determined to prevent any otherworldly beasties from ruining his little girl's big day. As bodies pile up, Ishmael and Penny race to find who or what is preying on the wedding party. Fans of the series will be delighted to reconnect with the quick-witted detective and to learn a little bit more about his early days on the planet.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
