Summary

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 believe the stranger’s threat. And run for their lives.

But wherever they go—wherever they hide—he finds them…

From the publisher

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz delivers a gripping novel of a man accused of stealing not just someone's identity, but his entire life...

A big house. A beautiful wife. Two happy and healthy children. It's a nice life that writer Martin Stillwater has made for himself. But he can't shake this feeling of impending disaster.

One bad moment on an otherwise fine day has put Marty on a collision course with a killer--a man with a mere shadow of an identity who is desperately searching for something more...

Martin's home. Martin's family. Martin's life.

From the rear cover

Happily married with two adorable children and a successful mystery writing career, Marty Stillwater considers himself a lucky man. But his comfortable cocoon is shattered when a stranger breaks into his house one rainy afternoon announcing: 'You stole my wife, my life, and my children. I want them back.' Claiming to be the real Martin Stillwater, the madman wages a terrifying campaign to eliminate Marty and recapture his family and life he believes to be his. Even the police are hard-pressed to believe the Stillwaters' harrowing account of what's happening to them, and the family is ultimately left on its own to deal with the menace in Koontz's most horrifying tale of suspense to date.
