  <default-description>A New York Times Bestselling Author  &lt;P&gt;&amp;#147;His prose mesmerizes . . . Koontz consistently hits the bull's-eye.&amp;#148; &amp;#151; Arkansas Democrat  &lt;P&gt;Rachel Leben's violently possessive ex-husband was killed in a freak auto accident, but his hideously mangled body has disappeared from the morgue. Now someone, or something, is watching her. Stalking her. And, although no one will believe her, Rachel knows who it is. His walking corpse a grotesque mockery of life. His brilliant, warped mind once again &amp;#147;alive&amp;#148; and seething with jealous rage. He seeks an unspeakable revenge from beyond her worst nightmare, stalking her with a murderous lust that will not die . . .</default-description>

Once the plot is set, you know what you're going to get; there isn't much in the way of suspense. <br/><br/>This nove...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38130609">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am really starting to love Koontz's writing.  This is a great read, completely worth your time.  Koontz seems to have a thing about good vs. evil, with both being active, personified forces.  It's a rare thing in today's writing, when &quot;evil&quot; is often merely the absence of &quot;good&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40392600">more...</a>]]></body>
