Prodigal Son

Dean Koontz

In a city gripped by a terrifying serial killer, a mysterious, tattooed man named Deucalion emerges, a figure who has traversed centuries with a secret far more chilling than death itself. As Detective Carson O'Connor and her partner Michael Maddison delve into the gruesome murders, they uncover a conspiracy far older and more sinister than they could have imagined. Their investigation leads them to a near-immortal race and killers who blur the lines between human and something else entirely. The chilling truth is that their quarry is not just a madman, but a creation of a deranged maker, and the hunt will lead them to the very brink of hell.

Dead and Alive

Dean Koontz

In a chilling reimagining of a timeless legend, Dean Koontz thrusts the Frankenstein myth into the 21st century, where a new architect of life plays god with devastating consequences. Victor Helios, the modern-day Frankenstein, unleashes his monstrous creations upon a city teetering on the brink of disaster, leaving a trail of engineered terror in his wake. The only hope lies with Deucalion, Helios's first, flawed creation, a being scarred by his maker's wrath but now seeking redemption. As a catastrophic storm descends, Deucalion must confront not only his creator but also an unimaginable entity born from humanity's deepest fears, a being intent on supplanting mankind itself.
