"if you bring this note to the police and get them involved, i'll kill an old woman. If you don't go to the police, i'll kill a young blond teacher. You have six hour to decide."
Billy found this note on his SUV after work. He dismssed it as a prank, and a teacher was killed. The second note was similar, whether he goes to the police anot, someone will die. But te deadline is shorter.

Another excellent work from Dean Koontz, the villain this time probably stood out from all his books. Psychotic, dangerous yet impeccably brilliant. Sends a shiver down my spine as I tried to picture that he did.
