Title: Hell to Pay Author: Simon R. Green File Type: Mobi Subject:Fantasy:Detective Description:From Publishers WeeklyLady Damnation, Old Father Time, a world weary Count Dracula and the hard-drinking storybook character Bruin Bear are only a few of the beings that Green produces for his seventh novel set in the sinister and psychedelic world of Nightside. None, however, are more powerful than the Griffin, an immortal who built his empire on the carcasses of foes, who has now summoned paranormal PI John Taylor to find his granddaughter. Taylor specializes in locating lost things; his Sight—which allows him to see into other dimensions—should be ideal for the task. But when an entity in the Griffins mansion blocks his abilities, Taylor must investigate the old-fashioned way: questioning the Griffins family members one by one. Taylors q&a sessions are less than thrilling, and the numerous references to the familys fearsome reputation grow tiresome. Fortunately, Green throws in a number of left-field surprises, spicing things up with an attack of fanatical nuns (called the Salvation Army Sisterhood), a bloodthirsty gangster and a DNA-stealing Charnel Chimera. Indeed, the most entertaining aspect lies not in Taylors investigation but in anticipating what Greens twisted imagination will conjure next. (Jan.) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. In the wake of the war that left the Nightside leaderless, Jeremiah Griffin-one of the last of the immortal human families-plans to fill the power vacuum. But his granddaughter has disappeared, and he wants John Taylor to use his special abilities to find her. Except someone-or something-is blocking Taylors abilities.
