For author Martin Stillwater, life couldn't be more perfect. He and Paige are happy together; their two daughters, Emily and Charlotte, are intelligent and healthy; and his novels are achieving long-hoped-for levels of success. So why does he feel such dread, experience sudden blackouts?

The killer doesn't know his own name, only the name he uses. He has no family, no friends, no home. He cannot recall who gives him his assignments, and he doesn't know why his targets must die. Now, however, he senses that in a town he can't yet envision, a life awaits him, a place to call home, with family and friends.

Charlotte knows something is wrong: the man moves and sounds like Daddy, but he doesn't smile as quickly or as often as usual. And when he does smile, he seems to be pretending. Daddy isn't Daddy.

Review:

Praise for Dean Koontz's novels: 'Koontz redefines suspense (The Times)

Koontz`s style bleaches out clich�s while showing a genius for detail (Publishers Weekly)

Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it (Sunday Telegraph)

A master of the thriller genre (Washington Post)

Scary. Koontz can really spook, and his dialogue and pacing rival the best (New York Post)

Fast and furious...like a hospital trolley on a toboggan run (Mail on Sunday)

Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose... "Serious" writers might do well to examine his technique. The story does not move so much as rocket up the gloomy highway with the reader in violent pursuit (New York Times)
