Publisher Description
Private eye John Taylor has been promised a million pounds if he finds a missing man - and proof of the Afterlife. But this is the Nightside . . .
In the Nightside, the sun refuses to rise, monsters and men walk side by side, and nothing is ever simple. John Taylor's latest case is going to make him a lot of money - he'll earn more than a million pounds - if he manages to find Pen Donavon, a man who claims to have a DVD with evidence of the Afterlife. The editor of The Unnatural Inquirer, the most notorious gossip rag in the Nightside, has made a deal with Donavon for exclusive rights, but now both man and DVD have vanished.
Taylor is used to dealing with the unsavoury denizens of the Nightside, but it's becoming clear that someone altogether more powerful - and deadly - is also on the trail. Taylor must act fast if he's to find the missing DVD before his mysterious adversary, or he may well be the next one to disappear.
The Unnatural Inquirer is the eighth title in the New York Times bestselling Nightside series by Simon R. Green.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The engaging eighth book in Green's popular offbeat Nightside series (after 2006's Hell to Pay) drops another paranormal mystery in the lap of series hero John Taylor, a PI in the shadowy realm of Nightside. Pen Donavon, who claims to have a DVD depicting actual footage of the afterlife, has vanished shortly after signing an exclusive deal with the tabloid Unnatural Inquirer. Various factions seeking to control the Nightside are leaving a considerable body count behind as they hunt for him. Accompanied by sexy half-demon reporter Bettie Divine, Taylor navigates the treacherous terrain with his typical skill before tracking down the real force behind Donavon's disappearance. Green skillfully blends action and humor, and shows no sign of running out of ideas. This installment will undoubtedly rope in new readers who enjoy his blend of dark humor and the supernatural.
