Thriller writer Martin Stillwater, though not at the top of his game, makes enough money and has enough fame to satisfy himself. He's got a good life, is in love with his wife and he adores his children. His future looks bright. Then a stranger, who happens to be Marty's dead ringer, shows up and accuses Marty of stealing his life and he wants it back.
And that's just the beginning of the book. However, as much as I absolutely love Dean Koontz, this one didn't hold me enthralled the way most of his others have done. I was actually able to put it down to check my e-mail and I didn't pick it back up till the next day. Not a good sign for a Koontz book. However, like all his work, it was an excellent story that scared me plenty.

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 belive the stranger's threat. And run for their lives.
But wherever they go-wherever they hide he finds them.

Great Koontz read as usual, edge of your seat thriller.

Dean Koontz is truly the author of supense and drama. Finding out that the main charater has a look alike is really strange. when he steals his children you just want to scream NO!

Spell bounding.

Not one of his best books, not then he is turning out books too fast to give much thought to them anymore. This book was quite a stretch of the imagination, almost absurd at times. It was OK, but nothing to rave about.

Wow, what a thriller!

Great book by the master of suspense.

Dean Koontz is still one of the best mystery writers of today. This book is a little slow going at first, maybe because I was reading it after surgery.

Koontz at his best - again!

Dean Koontz has always had the uncanny ability to take the most unlikely plot and draw in the reader...page after page of twists and turns that keep you going-The Sacramento Bee
