Overpowered by a stranger and injected with an unknown substance, Dylan O\'Connor is told he\'s a carrier, not of a disease but of something wondrous that will transform his life in remarkable ways--if it doesn\'t kill him in the next 24 hours.
Now the three are on the r.
And even as Dylan tries to convince her that they\'ll be safer sticking together, cold-eyed men in a threatening pack of black Suburbans approach, only seconds before Jilly\'s classic Coupe DeVille explodes into thin air.
Now she too is a carrier.
Before that evening Jilly was a beautiful comedian whose biggest worry was whether she would ever find a decent man.
It is a journey that begins when Dylan and Shep\'s path intersects with that of Jillian Jackson.
Stunned, disbelieving, Dylan is turned loose to run for his life...and straight into an adventure that will turn the next twenty-four hours into an odyssey of terror, mystery--and wondrous discovery.
No one can help him, the doctor says, not even the police.
Then he is told that he must flee--before the doctor\'s enemies hunt him down for the secret circulating through his body.
But in a nightmarish instant, Dylan is attacked by a mysterious doctor, injected with a strange substance, and told that he is now a carrier of something that will either kill him...or transform his life in the most remarkable way.
He\'s on his way to an arts festival in Santa Fe when he stops to get a room for himself and his twenty-year-old autistic brother, Shep.
Dylan O\'Connor is a gifted young artist just trying to do the right thing in life.
In this stunning new novel, he delivers a tour de force of dark suspense and brilliant revelation that has all the Koontz trademarks: adventure, chills, riddles, humor, heartbreak, an unforgettable cast of characters, and a climax that will leave you clamoring for more.
