A mother’s greatest wish—or darkest nightmare—comes true in this chilling classic audiobook thriller from the Master of Suspense, Dean Koontz.

“Koontz puts his readers through the emotional wringer.” –The Associated Press

In the year since her son Danny’s tragic death, Tina Evans has suffered incredible heartache. But now, with her Vegas show about to premiere, Tina might be ready to put her grief behind her and start over.

Until a shocking message appears on the chalkboard in Danny's room: NOT DEAD. Those two words send her on a terrifying journey from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the cold shadows of the High Sierras, where she uncovers a terrible secret.

"Four and a half. I really liked this book- a re-release from his pseudonym Leigh Nichols. He is one of my favorite authors and I liked this combo of suspense, mystery, thriller and a little romance and paranormal stuff thrown in. definitely a keeper to reread!"

    " kinda like your b-book horror. it's never gonna be a classic but it's horror and it's dean koontz so there aint gonna be any disappointment. a real page turner. it's an oldie... he originally published it under another name and i believe more recently re-wrote the ending to make it... well, better! although it's more of a thriller with a slight element of sci-fi/horror unlike his usual out and out terrifying material it's about a mother and a love for her missing son. it's easy to get into that kinda storyline. exciting!

    " It starts out with a very melodramatic tone, builds into a very promising story, and finally crashes down in a pile of mediocrity. If the theme appeals to you, try reading Stephen King's "Firestarter". It's not King's best, but it's better than this. "

    " This was my first Dan Koontz book I had ever read. It really got me hooked, but unfortunately I have abandoned Dean Koontz due to the way he has developed his writing style over the years. Definitely stick to the older Dean Koontz books unless you are especially skilled at "skimming"... "
