The Otherside: a world that exists on the outskirts of our own, hiding in plain sight and living within our shadows. Shielded from humanity, the Otherside is watched over by the BTCO, a highly secret government agency whose agents are the few humans who possess "The Knack," a genetic anomaly that allows them to see the truth of existence. Franklyn "Bermuda" Jones is the BTCO's finest agent, the only human to have passed to The Otherside and returned. Gifted with the ability to physically interact with The Otherside, he reluctantly stands between both worlds, pining for the life he had to leave behind. Teamed with the Otherside warrior, Argyle, the two of them are assigned a case of a missing woman, vanished under peculiar circumstances. As Bermuda delves further into the disappearances, he uncovers a threat to humanity that will not only break the truce between the two worlds, but render them both obsolete.… (meer)

So glad to have found this author and his quirky character of Bermuda Jones. Bermuda is different, to put it mildly. He has the ability to see what other people can’t. It is because of that, that Bermuda works for a government agency that is so secret almost no one knows it exists. When people start going missing Bermuda and his partner Argyle are sent to investigate the disappearances and hopefully to put an end to them. Will they be able to get one step ahead and stop the next one from happening? Ah...that is the "sixty-four-thousand-dollar question" (is anyone else old enough to remember that TV show?) I was hooked into this story from the beginning. It's a beautiful mixture of supernatural/ fantasy and crime thriller with some mystery thrown in and blended together. The character of Bermuda is drawn in a very realistic way. It made you really feel for the man, not only because of his gift...or curse, as he calls it... but also because he’s been through and lost so much. That is something he’s still struggling to come to terms with. I love how this guy despite hating that he has the ‘knack’ still continues to fight and tries save everyone, all whilst flaunting his lack of respect for his superiors at the BTCO. Great first book and I'm getting the 2nd one... The Absent Man (Stay tuned:) ( )
