Koontz at his absolute best in thriller writing. The simple and yet twisted plot is incredible, with genuinely disturbing moments throughout. The world he creates is a lonely one where the killer revels in his authority, constantly taunting the protagonist. Although the plot stalls once or twice towards the end, there can be no doubt about the genuine brilliance of this novel.

Billy ignores the note and the story evolves from there.

Without spoiling the ending, I did guess who was doing the killings, but there is a bigger twist at the end, that catches you unawares.

It is a real pages ...
