The Unnatural Inquirer
The Unnatural InquirerPrivate 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.
