#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz delivers a gripping novel of a man accused of stealing not just someone’s identity, but his entire life…A big house. A beautiful wife. Two happy and healthy children. It’s a nice life that writer Martin Stillwater has made for himself. But he can’t shake this feeling of impending disaster.One bad moment on an otherwise fine day has put Marty on a collision course with a killer—a man with a mere shadow of an identity who is desperately searching for something more…Martin’s home. Martin’s family. Martin’s life.
Martin Stillwater has a vivid imagination. It charms his loving wife, delights his two little daughters, and gives him all the inspiration he needs to write his highly successful mystery novels. But maybe Martin’s imagination is a bit too vivid… One rainy afternoon, a terrifying incident makes him question his grip on reality. A stranger breaks into his house, accusing Martin of stealing his wife, his children—and his life. Claiming to be the real Martin Stillwater, the intruder threatens to take what is rightfully his. The police think he’s a figment of Martin’s imagination. But Martin and his family have no choice but to believe the stranger’s threat. And run for their lives.But wherever they go—wherever they hide—he finds them…
Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirits of their goldens, Trixie and Anna.
“Koontz is a terrific what-if storyteller…the narrative pace is breathless.”—People“The resounding variations Mr. Koontz plays on this good story, here craftily retold…allow him to counterpoint the new horrors about us with the old horrors already inside us.”—The New York Times Book Review“A superb work by a master of the thriller at the top of his form.”—The Washington Post Book World“Koontz is in fine form…dragging the reader along through an intricate series of twists and exciting turns.”—Chicago TribuneMore Praise for Dean Koontz“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”—The Seattle Times“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose….‘Serious’ writers…might do well to examine his technique.”—The New York Times Book Review“Lyrical writing and compelling characters…Koontz stands alone.”—Associated Press“In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz…is among these artisans.”—Suspense Magazine“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America…novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good…[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly
