Dean R Koontz : THE BAD PLACE

Frank Pollard awakes in an alley, knowing nothing but his name – and that he is in great danger. Over the next few days he develops a fear of sleep because when he wakes he finds blood on his hands and bizarre and terrifying objects in his pockets.

When a distraught and desperate Frank begs husband-and-wife detective team, Bobby and Julie Dakota, to get to the bottom of his mysterious, amnesiac fugues, it seems a simple job. But they are drawn inter ever darkening realms where they encounter the nightmare, hate-filled figure stalking Frank. And their lives are threatened, as is that of Julie’s gentle, Down’s-syndrome brother, Thomas.
