Details: History isn't what you think it is. It's been rewritten to remove all the magic. Together, two people decide to put things right. A new novel of magic, history, and true love from Simon R. Green.

When they fall in love, it's magic!

History can change and has changed. Magic was and is real.

Once upon a time, there was a forgotten era of magic and monster. But the remnants-and all memory-of the old world have been replaced by the sane, the scientific, and the rational. But sometimes the magical past isn't content to stay past. That's where Jack Daimon comes in. It's his joy to protect our present from the supernatural remnants of an earlier time, a different history. It's his job to make the past safe.

Jack is called to the Tate Museum, where dozens of people have disappeared beneath the surface of a painting. While investigating, he finds himself smitten with a mysterious art expert, Amanda Fielding. But Amanda has plans of her own, and soon the two are traveling through time-back to the Roman Empire and then forward through history, from King Arthur's court to Sherwood Forest. As they explore histories past as written and overwritten, the balance of magic and science shifts, and the choices the two make could change the world forever.

Praise for the Ishmael Jones Mysteries:

"[A] brisk, breezy mystery series . . . With convincing supernatural twists [and] witty chapter titles... readers will be anxious for sequels." -Publishers Weekly

"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

"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

"Ishmael is a wonderful character, an extraterrestrial living among humans, and the series (this is the third installment) is a clever mixture of thriller and SF-horror genres. Green is best known for the Deathstalker space operas, but give this one a few more installments to develop, and it could well become Green's masterwork." -Booklist, starred review

"Lovers of high-quality fantasy and science fiction should make it a point to seek this guy out, if they haven't already." -Booklist

"This relatively new series is a wonderful balance of murder mystery and urban fantasy with a sci-fi twist . . . If you enjoyed Green's previous books or if you are looking for a classic mystery with a modern twist, this is the series for you!" -That's What I'm Talking About

"Ishmael Jones is one of the most underrated series' ever and I haven't found one book in the series yet to disappoint . . . I can't recommend this book and this whole series enough!" -Tiny Book Reviews

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?
