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…
Reasonably well written and the usual brain candy from Dean Koontz.
Sur le thème du double maléfique, ce roman haletant nous plonge dans un suspens efficace et croissant. Si le dénouement dévoile une idée déjà vue mais effrayantes, l’ensemble se lit avec plaisir et l’action ne manque pas. À noter un duo de personnages assez hilarant, surtout Karl Cloker, « trekkie » invétéré qui parle comme dans un épisode de Star Trek. J’ai adoré ce personnage secondaire énigmatique et plein de surprises
