But #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz shows that appearances can be deceiving—in a deadly way...She appears out of nowhere, a beautiful teenage girl in the middle of traffic on a busy day. Paul and Carol Tracy are drawn to her—she's the child they never thought they could have. But then Carol's nightmares begin—the ghastly sounds in the night...the bloody face in the mirror...the razor-sharp ax. Jane can't remember her past. And as Carol attempts to help her uncover who she was, she has no idea of the horrors that await...

People More Praise for Dean Koontz

“Koontz hones his fearful yarns to a gleaming edge.”

The Seattle Times

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”

The New York Times Book Review

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”

Associated Press

“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”

Suspense Magazine

“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.”

Los Angeles Times

“[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.”

Publishers Weekly

“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.”
