When I try to run the above query in Access, I get the following message: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression P2.id = link.parent inner join .... P2.id = B.id"

What am I doing wrong? Below is the query for john's sisters that executes ok.

SELECT P2.name
FROM ((person INNER JOIN link ON person.id = link.child) INNER JOIN link AS link2 ON link.parent = link2.parent) INNER JOIN person AS P2 ON link2.child = P2.id WHERE (((P2.name)<>"John")

              AND ((person.name)="John")
              AND ((P2.sex)="Female"));


person
id	name	sex
1	Adam	Male
2	John	Male
3	Jack	Male
4	Mary	Female


link
parent	child
Adam	John
