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.

About the Author

James Herbert is not just Britain's No. 1 bestselling writer of chiller fiction, a position he has held since publication of his first novel, but is one of our greatest popular novelists, whose books are sold in 33 other languages, including Russian and Chinese. Widely imitated and hugely influential, his twenty novels have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.

Industry Reviews

James Herbert's reinvention of himself as a writer of style and consequence is supported by this chilling epic, a world away from his early books. The memorable first line - 'My redemption begins in Hella' - may not quite have the du Maurier ring, but it's a good index of the stylish writing on offer here. Nicholas Dismas is a private investigator, but one with a remarkable secret to which not even he has the answer. Hired to find a missing baby, his investigations take him to a clandestine location called Perfect Rest. Is this a nursing home for the elderly? As Dismas investigates the bizarre secrets of the Others, revelations about his own past are in the offing. Herbert concentrates on the power of an inexorable narrative rather then on artificially injected shocks, and Others is all the better for that. (Kirkus UK)
