City of night (Dean Koontz)

They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever created and they must be destroyed. But not even Victor Helios once Frankenstein can stop the engineered killers hes set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Now the only hope rests in a one-time monster and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson OConnor and Michael Maddison. Deucalions centuries-old history began as Victors first and failed attempt to build the perfect human and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator. But first Deucalion must destroy a monstrosity not even Victors malignant mind could have imagined an indestructible entity that steps out of humankinds collective nightmare with one purpose: to replace us.
