About this ebook

A cop races against time to prevent his own death in this heart-pounding thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.

Harry Lyon is a rational man, a cop who refuses to let his job harden his soul. His partner urges him to surrender to the chaos of life. But Harry believes in order and reason. Then one fateful day, he's forced to shoot a man—and a homeless stranger with bloodshot eyes utteres the haunting words that challenge Harry Lyon’s sanity...

“Ticktock, ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn...”

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this story (even though there was no dragon 🐲). It caught my interest after only a few pages. But, I am a great Dean Coontz fan, can't wait to read them all. Then I will reread them as I wait for new ones. ♥️😊♥️, Dona USA

I've read many of Koontz's tales this is another one that makes me feel like if I put it down something bad will surely happen.

I've read many of his books, but this one was simply spell-binding. Unable to put it down. Intense, memorable, full of insane suspense.
