Book Description:
Harry Lyon was a rational man, a cop who refused to let his job harden his soul. His partner urged him to surrender to the chaos of life. But Harry believed in order and reason. Then one fateful day, he was forced to shoot a man and a homeless stranger with bloodshot eyes uttered the haunting word that challenged Harry's sanity. "Ticktock, ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours. Dead by dawn...dead by dawn...dead by dawn."

This is one of those books, that you will either like it nor not, I just made it through it. I got to listen to it by Audible books since I didn't have time to actualy sit down with the book on my self, I listened to it in the car on long trips. When you hear it read to you it's not bad, but it is redundent. Tick Tock is just something that seems to be something the author brought from his other book. The ending was quick, but painful really.
I say if you have the time and patience pick it up. If not, get the audibile version for your ipod and take it for a run, at least it is more entertaining that way.

Interesting book which gives a different take on what a demon could do. I liked that Koontz gave the dogs perspective because I am a dog lover. For those familiar with Tick Tock in other Koontz books, this one also has a Tick Tock in it. If any horror fans have not tried this one its a good read.

This book was a bit scary... I don't normally read scary books, so some might not even flinch @ the scary parts in this book, especially if you like that sort of thing. It was NOT gory just suspense mainly. Kind of eery and creepy. All in all a pretty good read. I loved the dog in the book, He just cracked me up.

From Amazon.com

Harry and Connie are L.A. homicide detective's ala the "Odd Couple." Harry is obsessively neat, and Connie is a messy dirty Harry type. Both characters are tracking a serial killer who brutalizes women. Harry's life takes an unexpected turn, when he encounter a strange hobo who tells him "Tick Tock You'll Be Dead By Dawn," thus begins a 12 hour Odyssey wherein Harry, Connie, and a rag-tag group of homeless pit their wits against a psychic serial-killer with a God-Complex.
