Book Description:
Dean Koontz's latest suspense novel involves a woman and a man, each alone, each with secrets. They meet once in a bar, and suddenly they're being pursued by a frighteningly powerful agency with access to the government's information, weapons systems, and surveillance. The man who chases them does so with robotic, banal efficiency, but his prey is different from any he's encountered before--bold, tenacious, and determined not to succumb.
