Par une sombre nuit d'orage, au moment de quitter le monde où vient de naître son petit-fils, Joseph Tock prédit à celui-ci cinq jours fatals, qui surviendront entre sa vingtième et sa trentième année. Quelles épreuves Jimmy va-t-il devoir affronter au cours de ces journées funestes ? Sa course folle pour la vie l'obligera à puiser au plus profond de son intuition et de son intelligence, car ce qu'il apprendra sur lui-même et ce qu'il devra accomplir demeure aussi mystérieux qu'incroyable.

Jour fatal

A chilling short story prequel to Dean Koontz's forthcoming full-length novel, INNOCENCE. Addison Goodheart is only eight years old, but he already knows he is not like other people.

 Addison Goodheart is a mystery even to himself. He was born in an isolated home surrounded by a deep forest, seeing no one but his mother, who barely accepts him. She is haunted by private demons and keeps many secrets - none of which she dreads more than the young son who adores her.

 Only in the woods, among the wildlife, is Addison truly welcome. Only there can he be at peace. Until the day he first knows terror, the day when his life changes radically and forever.

La Mort à la traîne

A storm struck on the night Laura Shane was born, and there was a strangeness about the weather that people would remember for years. But even more mysterious was the blond-haired stranger who appeared out of nowhere – the man who saved Laura from a fatal delivery. Years later – another bolt of lightning – and the stranger returned, again to save Laura from tragedy. Was he the guardian angel he seemed? The devil in disguise? Or the master of a haunting destiny beyond time and space?
