Someone is killing the twelve most Important people in the world.
With convincing supernatural twists [and] wit. --Severn House DEAD MAN WALKING is a very, Very good book; atmospheric, funny, intense and a bit gory! --Bookaholic Swede Praise for The Dark Side of the Road: [A] brisk, breezy first in a new mystery series... --The Gatehouse I\'m not sure how Simon Green manages to be hilarious yet grotesquely gruesome at the same time, yet he pulls it off magnificently! The fast-moving, twisting plot kept me gripped throughout - and I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who enjoys an intriguing mystery enlivened by a dash of the supernatural, a hint of the macabre and a liberal sprinkling of humour.
Fun, quirky and most importantly: slightly different from what you would traditionally expect in the genre. --Library Journal It\'s the kind of novel that reads easily, and that just as easily holds your attention from the first page to the last, making you regret the story is over and making you long for the next adventure of the characters you\'ve come to love over the course of this tale...
Knight fans will particularly relish Green\'s genre-blending novel.
Richard Kadrey and E.
E. --Publishers Weekly This sequel to the wonderful THE DARK SIDE OF THE ROAD takes the basic structure of a traditional English country house mystery and mixes it with a bit of supernatural horror and suspense. --Fantasy Book Review? Praise for Dead Man Walking: Not to be taken too seriously, this meld of SF and traditional hard-boiled spy fiction hints at plenty of further adventures. --Booklist, Starred Review I recommend Very Important Corpses if you are looking for a fun, scary, and entertaining read before bedtime.
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.
Praise for Very Important Corpses: 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.
Of course, it doesn\'t help that this is all taking place at a hotel near Loch Ness.
So now it\'s down to Ishmael Jones and his partner in crimes Penny Belcourt to get to the bottom of things.
The first agent sent to investigate has also been killed.
But one by one they\'re being murdered.
The twelve most Important business people in the world are having their annual meeting.
At Loch Ness.
