Who is more foolish-the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of light? afraid of the light? Baba Lavelle is a stranger in New York. A stranger with a mission to break the Mafia stranglehold on the city's drug traffic, and take it over himself. He has no guns, no army of hoods, no friends in high places. But he has the Power - magical, ancient, and terrifyingly brutal. The power that thrives in darkness... Praise for Dean Koontz 'Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose... "Serious" writers might do well to examine his technique. The story does not move so much as rocket up the gloomy highway with the reader in violent pursuit' New York Times 'Koontz redefines suspense' The Times 'Scary. Koontz can really spook, and his dialogue and pacing rival the best' New York Post 'Fast and furious.,.like a hospital trolley on a toboggan run' Mail on Sunday. This book was originally published in the UK with the title DARKNESS COMES.
