From the inside of the book:
Tommy Phan is a thirty-year old Vietnamese-American detective novelist living in Southern California and a chaser of the American dream. He drives home his brand-new Corvette one day to discover a strange doll on his doorstep...
He brings it into the house. That night, he hears an odd little popping sound and looks up to see the crossed stitches breaking over the dolls heart. When he picks the doll up, he feels something pulsing in its chest. Another thread unravels to reveal a reptilian green eye - not a doll's eye, because it blinks. Tommy Phan pusues the thing as it scrambles away into his house - and then is pursued by it as it evolves from a terrifying and vicious minikin into a hulking and formidable opponent bent on killing him. THE DEADLINE IS DAWN, the creature types on Tommys computer screen, and in the hours that follow, with the help of a beautiful, strangely intuitive waitress he meets on the highway, Tommy frantically flees this fierce enemy, desperate to discover what this thing is and why it's pursuing him.
