Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its 25 year old age. It really is an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults. "My redemption began in Hell." So begins Herbert's controversial and stunning new chiller. 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.Or was it? His investigation takes him to a mysteriously located place called Perfect Rest.It is supposed to be a nursing home for the elderly.But is it? 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. This story is based on a true incident that occured in a certain London children's hospital some years ago and was related to me by the now elderly person involved.At least two of the main protagonists are known to me personally (one, alas,now deceased) and,lest I be accused of possessing an inordinately warped imagination,I should point out that most of the 'others' described herein are taken from actual medical case histories.I sincerely hope you have been disturbed.(from James Herbert's end note.)
