She now abandons her plan to run away and wants to save the girl imprisoned by him. She also learns that the killer has a very young girl imprisoned in his house.

The killer, Edgler Vess, blows away two sales people in the shop with Chyna hiding in there.

She tries to escape in a gas station but fails. Finds all of them dead and finds herself in his RV while looking for her friend Laura. When Chyna goes to the Templetons, she sees in the night that there is a lone killer who is bent on murdering the entire family of Templetons and hides under the bed. Laura Templeton, daughter of Thomas and Sarah, loves fast cars, dreams of flying naked, having sex in mid air and is a very close friend to a more reserved Chyna. But when he gets it right, the result is a very good thrill ride, like this one is. Just the kind of book where Dean Koontz excels but unfortunately does not do consistently. The story is tight, starts with a bang, and does not let up until the end. We have reviewed a mixed bag of Dean Koontz’s other books earlier here.
