I usually stay with police procedurals/murder mysteries, but once in a while I like to break out and Dean Koontz never fails to entertain. This book contains a seriously sick serial killer, with a big dash of macabre thrown in and topped with dollop of good and evil/light and dark.

Hatch is brought back to life after an extended period of being flatlined from a horrific accident and he finds he has a mental "connection" to the serial killer. While it takes him a while to come to terms with it (the frustrating part of the story for me), once he finally does, the action then kicks in and the story moves quickly. But don't let that deter you, because learning about the serial killer is the real "carnival ride." Another great Dean Koontz novel.
