Dead Man Walking (2016) is the second book in Simon R. Green’s Ishmael Jones Mystery Series. Ishmael Jones is an agent for The Organization, a super-secret agency. Ishmael Jones and his girl friend, Penny Belcourt, are sent to a secret facility where a rogue agent is being held. The rogue agent, Frank Parker, claims to have classified knowledge and knows the names of traitors inside The Organization.
Dead Man Walking follows the template Green presented in the first Ishmael Jones mystery, The Dark Side of the Road (2015) (you can read my review here) with an isolated facility and multiple murders. Ishmael Jones and Penny follow the clues to unravel this cunning mystery. I’ve read over a dozen Simon R. Green books in various genres. If you’re looking for a brief, entertaining mystery…look no further. GRADE: B
Like you, I’ve read more than a dozen of Green’s books and I have a few on the shelves at home. I haven’t read Ishmael Jones, however.
Jeff, I’m always impressed by the productivity and range of Simon R. Green. I’ve enjoyed his SF, Fantasy, and mystery novels.
