In his imaginative new novel, Koontz soars beyond the limits of
Midnight and his other bestsellers. The principal characters, married
detectives Julie and Bobby Dakota, agree to help frightened amnesiac
Frank Pollard figure out what he does when he's asleep. (Not only can
Frank not remember his past, but he wakes up mornings to find
mysterious bags of large-denomination bills by his bed.) In due course,
Frank and the Dakotas join forces against murderer Candy Pollard and
his weird sisters, who want to kill Frank--evidently the sole human in
the monstrous family. Candy extends psychic feelers toward potential
victims, emanations that are sensed by Julie's younger brother Thomas.
A Down's syndrome child, Thomas is telepathically gifted and able to
warn Bobby of the demons who threaten Julie. Horror follows horror with
each crime perpetrated by Candy & Co. as they come ever closer to
the Dakotas and other prey. Besides episodes of shriek-worthy suspense,
the book features out-of-body flights, and data on insects and gems of
impossible origins, no less unnatural than the Pollard villains, who
could incite envy in Lucifer himself. Koontz should lure even more
readers to his myriad following with his terrifyingly credible fantasy.
