About this eBook
From the Master of Horror, James Herbert's Others, private investigator Nicholas Dismas is hired to track down a missing baby stolen away at birth, he finds himself immersed in a grim underworld of lies and deceit. His investigations ultimately lead him to a mysteriously located place with the seemingly innocent name of Perfect Rest, a nursing home where the elderly can live out their days in peace . . .
But appearances can be deceptive and Dismas discovers the shadowy presence of the Others lurking in the hidden rooms and passages of Perfect Rest. His own dark heart is called into question in the events that follow and, in an astonishing and spectacular finale, Dismas finally resolves the enigma of his existence and answers the disturbing questions . . . who and what are the Others?

It seems James Herbert's books have all been blighted with the same terrible conversion: no quotation marks, no apostrophes etc. This makes the books very hard to read at times - especially with speech, thoughts and such. Sloppy work to make a fast buck by the digital publishers.
