Someone is in Hilary Thomas’ house, waiting for her. He has raped and killed other young women in the past. Now it’s Hilary’s turn. Horrified, she recognizes the intruder as Bruno Frye, the millionaire vintner whom she had met while researching a movie script. But this knife-welding man insanely accuses her of being his mother – and having come back from the dead to kill him. She manages to stab him with his own knife – and learns later that he died from his wounds. But the worst is yet to come: Hilary has discovered she is being stalked – by the man she’s just killed!
In this classic tale of blood-freezing secrets and supernatural terrors, bestselling author Dean Koontz is at the top of his form.
