Advantages: Its Dean Koontz! what more? Disadvantages: Not really his usual style, but not unusal.
The plot : Screenwriter, Hilary Thomas, is confronted in her own home by an intruder named Bruno Frye. It seems that Mr. Frye has been stalking Ms. Thomas in the belief that Ms. Thomas is his dead mother, Katherine, who has come back from the dead in order to kill him. He must kill her, before she kills him. Of course, Hilary has no idea why Frye has singled her out. She is only aware his murderous intent, and she is very afraid.
