A chilling tale of a gruesome secret from the world-renowned author of Portent "My redemption began in Hell..." So begins James Herbert's controversial and stunning new chiller. Nicholas Dismas is a private investigator, but like no other that has gone before him. He carries a secret about himself to which not even he has the answer. He is hired to find a missing baby, one that was taken away at birth. His investigation takes him to a mysteriously located place called Perfect Rest. It is supposed to be a nursing home for the elderly, but there is a lot more to this place than meets the eye. Here Dismas will discover the dark secret of the Others. And in an astonishing and spectacular finale he will resolve the enigma of his own existence. As chilling, as memorable, and as timely as only James Herbert can be, Others will join the classics for which he is remembered with fear.
The minute he uses the word “Frisson” I feel compelled to pitch the book across the room. Bad soul is redeemed, as a strange sort of PI novel that involves the snatching of abnormal babies. Maybe lay off the coke writers.
