A stylish, spellbinding tale from America's number-one 
bestselling master of suspense.

Because he has a happy marriage, two adorable small 
daughters, and a successful career, mystery writer 
Marty Stillwater counts himself a lucky man. But all 
this is shattered when a stranger breaks into his 
house one rainy afternoon to announce: "You stole my 
wife, my life, and my children. I want them back." 
Claiming be the real Martin Stillwater, the madman 
wages a relentless and terrifying campaign to elimi-
nate Marty and recapture the family and life he 
believes to be his.

When even bullets fail to stop this savage intruder, 
the police are hard-pressed to believe the Stillwaters' 
harrowing account. Unable to rely on the protection of 
the authorities, the family goes on the run. But no 
matter where they hide, their enemy finds them.

In Mr. Murder, Dean Koontz creates the most endearing 
family to appear in a novel in a long time, makes us 
love them--and makes us fear for them as they cross 
the path of a psychotic killer unlike any who has 
previously haunted the pages of fiction. Exploring 
contemporary society's tendency to draw an ever-thinner 
line between fiction and reality, Mr. Murder is 
blisteringly paced, terrifying, thought-provoking, 
and utterly fresh.
