The bad place by Dean Koontz, from the beginning. From the reigning monarch of suspense and author of the number one bestseller, midnight comes his eeriest tale, yet.
“You've got to help me find where I go at night. What in God's name am I doing? When I should be sleeping?”
Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing, but his name and that he's in great danger. Haven't taken refuge in a motel. He wakes again only to find his hands covered in blood. As far as he knows, he's no killer. But whose blood is this? And how did it get there over the next few days? Frank develops a fierce sleep because each time he wakes, he discovers strange objects in his hands and pockets. Objects far more frightening than blood husband and wife, detective team Bobby and Julie Dakota specialize in high ticket corporate security investigations. But when a disparate Frank Pollard begs them to watch over him, they can't refuse out of compassion in curiosity, they agree to get to the bottom of this mysterious Amnesiac man. It seems a simple job. Just follow a client who wants to be watched and tell him where he winds up. But as the Dakota's begin to discover where their client goes when he sleeps, they are drawn slowly into ever-darkening realms. When they encounter the ominous figures that stalk Frank, their lives are threatened. As is that of Julie's gentle Down syndrome, brother. Thomas to Thomas, death is the bad place from which there is no return, but Julie and Bobby- and their tortured client ultimately learn that equally bad places exist in the world of the living places. So steeped in evil that, in contrast, death seems almost a relief.
More terrifying than strangers, more gripping than watchers, more haunting than midnight. The bad place is Dean. R. Kuntz's masterpiece of terror a classic duel of good and evil. Sure to keep the reader breathless and guessing until the last page
