Death Shall Come

The New York Times bestselling author continues his otherworldly Ishmael Jones noir mystery series—as an ancient mummy foreshadows a macabre murder… Death shall come on swift wings to whoever desecrates this tomb… So declared the supposed "curse" laid upon those who opened the tomb of Tutankhamun. Ishmael Jones, however, is concerned with a different Egyptian altogether when he and his lady love Penny are personally tasked by the enigmatic Colonel to attend a very special event at the stately Cardavan House. Specifically, the exhibition of the sarcophagus of the very first queen in the line of Cleopatra, an artifact beyond value. The Colonel would like to know just how collector George Cardavan—a supposedly trusted associate of the Organization—managed to acquire it. That investigation quickly turns into something much more insidious when the sarcophagus is found open with no mummy and George's brutally murdered corpse nearby. Naturally, whispers of deadly curses abound. But Ishmael knows the killer is all too real—the only question is, who? A member of the fractious Cardavan family? A thief willing to kill for treasure? Or is it something else? Something far more dangerous? Something that can be heard walking in the darkest corridors of Cardavan House, searching for its next victim…?
