Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz takes readers into the darkest recesses of the human mind—and into the tempest of a father's obsession.

A call in the middle of the night summoned psychiatrist Laura McCaffrey out into the rain-swept streets of Los Angeles. The police had found her husband-beaten to death. But what of her daughter, Melanie, whom he had kidnapped six years earlier? At the brutal murder scene, the police lead Laura into her husband's makeshift lab—and open the door to a rising tide of terror that has trapped Melanie in its midst...

  • Love for a child

    Strong and never yielding love for a child is the base of this book. I enjoyed reading this older Koontz book much more than a newer book - Quicksilver. Door to December gave me characters I could cling to and feel empathy for during their struggle against an impossible evil. The book is weighted down with soul-searching that goes too deep, but overall a great story.
  • Riveting. Couldn’t put it down.

    Pure Koontz. There is something terrifying and comforting in this, as in most books by this author.

    Another fantastic book from the incomparable Dean Koontz, especially for those who enjoy a spooky supernatural thriller! The story is about what happens to a kidnapped girl and her abductors when she escapes six years after being kidnapped. That’s all I will tell you. This story is too good to spoil. Read and get ready to held in suspense, terrified, thrilled, and entertained! It’s a thick book, but that’s okay because you won’t be ready for it to end too soon!
  • Loved it!

    I honestly was obsessed with this book at the age of 14. I gave this book to all of my friends and they absolutely got hooked as well! I loved this book because it was something new to read. I honestly have this a 5 because it is my favorite book by far.

    It was a interesting book. I was very disappointed in the ending. I've actually read icebound also and the ending sucked also.
  • Too many fillers.

    Not his best. The mother/psychologist seemed very naive.
