'I wasn't there when I died...'
Jim True knows. He has returned from an out-of-body experience to find he has been brutally murdered and his body mutilated. No one can see him, no one can hear him, no one, except his killer, knows he still exists. Freed from his body, True embarks on a quest to find his killer and discover why and how he has managed to survive.
As he closes in on his murderer, True discovers that even the very people he loved and trusted have betrayed him. He meets his killer, a strange and sinister figure who can also leave his body at will.
An epic and deadly battle ensues between True and a seemingly unstoppable and hideous serial killer - a man now intent on even more murders, including True's wife and child . . .

Review:
The title Nobody True is a complicated set of puns on its own plot; adman Jimmy True has no body because he was off on one of his regular astral jaunts when someone stuck him through the heart and carved him up like meat. His rather privileged position as an invisible observer of his own murder investigation enables him to discover uncomfortable truths about almost everyone he knows--his wife, his young daughter, his business partner--and a darker set of truths about the serial killer whose victim he appears to be. Jimmy has many problems with trust--his paranoid mother and absent father have seen to that--and at first his posthumous experiences confirm all his worst dreads. This is a book about learning valuable lessons and not thinking simple versions of the truth are necessarily the most accurate ones; it is among the most odd Herbert horror thrillers and like several of his best books has an attractive emotional core underneath all the gore and nightmare. Occasional wordiness and too much occultist waffle about dreaming, death and soul travel do not stop this also being intermittently one of his most gripping. --Roz Kaveney
Review:
"Frightening . . . Packed with tension, thrills, and unexpected twists."--"Rocky Mountain News" "A work of genius."--"Worldbooks""" ""Nobody True" is the kind of horror story when you think things can't get anymore grim--they do. It's a ghoulishly compelling page-turner."--"Daily Mirror" "A triumph of suspense and horror. . . . Truly horrifying . . . [and] very entertaining."--"Portsmouth Herlad" ""Nobody True" has one of the most unusual plotlines of the year . . . suspense, drama, and romance all wrapped up in a blanket of black humor."--"Evening Press" "This is one of those books you can't read quick enough because you desperately want to know the ending. Its brilliant, fast-moving storyline is as good as you would expect from a Herbert novel, full of twists and turns. Exceptional stuff from the master."--"Burton Mail"
