Someone is killing the twelve most important people in the world. At Loch Ness.The twelve most important business people in the world are having their annual meeting. But one by one they’re being murdered. The first agent sent to investigate has also been killed. So now it’s down to Ishmael Jones and his partner in crimes Penny Belcourt to get to the bottom of things. Of course, it doesn’t help that this is all taking place at a hotel near Loch Ness. 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. 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.” —Booklist, Starred Review “I recommend VERY IMPORTANT CORPSES if you are looking for a fun, scary, and entertaining read before bedtime.” —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.” —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. Richard Kadrey and E.E. Knight fans will particularly relish Green’s genre-blending novel.” —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… Fun, quirky and most importantly: slightly different from what you would traditionally expect in the genre.” —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.” —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… With convincing supernatural twists [and] witty chapter titles… readers will be anxious for a sequel.” —Publishers Weekly “Genre-blending author Green introduces another wisecracking protagonist, Ishmael Jones… Fans of the British TV series Torchwood will enjoy the irreverent, otherworldly protagonist.” —Booklist “A new book from Green is always a treat for SF and urban fantasy fans, because they know that in his fictional worlds things are never quite what they seem until it’s too late. His first foray into more traditional crime fiction (albeit with an otherworldy flavor) will delight mystery readers, especially those who relish a bit of genre blending.” —Library Journal “Pure horrific fun.” —Audio File Magazine “Without a doubt, this is one of the best books the author has ever penned down.” —The Gatehouse “I really enjoyed the book. If anything it was over too soon. The author captures the English Country Manor Murder Mystery feel very well, as he sets up pretty much everybody as a suspect… I look forward to finding out more in future volumes.” —British Fantasy Society “The first book in the Ishmael Jones’ series had a great set of mysteries that left you dying to know what was going on.” —Creature From The Book Lagoon Praise for Jekyll & Hyde Inc.: “This book is hard to put down. It is exciting from start to finish, with thrills and monsters waiting behind every dark corner.” —San Francisco Book Review “Green transforms Robert Lewis Stevenson’s classic horror novel into the launch pad for an exciting adventure. He takes readers through a romp involving multiple horror classics, updated to the twenty-first century in an amusing and entertaining read.” —Ricochet “There’s something about Green’s dark humor that sucks me into many of his books. And, as violent and gory as this book is, it’s really about a good man striving to stay good in the worst circumstances.” —Lesa’s Book Critiques “It has all the grim and all the dark of many of the author’s previous series.” —Reading Reality Praise for the Deathstalker series: “Green moves his plot at top speed, a
