As always Unsworth’s choice of location is inspired, a motorway restaurant reminiscent of a flying saucer caught in mid-flight atop a concrete column, an eyesore to some, a delightful relic for others, but which is in fact home to an ambiguous and terrifying supernatural entity. You might read the story on a crowded train, or in the comfort of your own home, either way the strength of the story will have the same shivering inducing effect regardless of the environment. Whether the story is true will make very little difference to the reader. The Pennine Tower Restaurant is one of the most frightening short stories to come out of the genre in the last ten years. It is a provocative novel of horror filled with sharp twists and propulsive action that will keep you riveted until the end.A Kind Of Review: Simon Kurt Unsworth’s ‘Lost Places’ and ‘Quiet Houses.’ The Devil’s Evidence is an exotic crime thriller as exhilarating as anything in recent fiction. Violence, corruption, and fear are hell’s currency how does one investigate evil where those concepts cannot exist? Impossible or not, the killings are real, and the evidence leads Fool deep into the contradictions of a visionary landscape where danger can present itself in any form and to the heart of a conspiracy with the power to upset the balance of heaven and hell. When his arrival coincides with the discovery of an impossible murder, he faces a catastrophic paradox. It is unprecedented for a condemned human to enter the land of the elevated, but Fool is protected as one of hell’s own. In the midst of the chaos, Fool is sent to accompany a political delegation to heaven. But one fact is the most disconcerting: The fires have left his masters at the bureaucracy terrified. The clues he finds are mysterious and unsettling, implying something different from the usual litany of cruelty he sees. Troubling and deadly fires are spreading throughout hell, and it is Fool’s job to sift the ashes and find their source. Fool alone has survived the wrath of both demon and angel, and now he faces his most thrilling and complex challenge. Tap, the cunning leader of a shadowy organization known as the Evidence.
This power has only inspired new deadly enemies like Mr. The man with no memory of who he was or what led to his damnation is now in command of the Information Office of Hell. Thomas Fool-the resilient investigator doomed to catalog hell’s atrocities in Simon Kurt Unsworth’s stunning debut, The Devil’s Detective, is back.
Murder in the land of God sends the devil’s detective to heaven.
