The Door to December by Dean Koontz

First Published: 1985
Pages: 510


An exciting cat-and-mouse chase that is grounded in a more than usually believable context. Koontz skillfully intercuts scenes that comment on each other and build ever more tension, touching on such issues as child abuse, governmental protection of criminals, and the gray moral areas of human experimentation. He keeps his appealing characters moving at a breakneck pace toward revelations from which they shrink.
