Do you dare step through the red door? Spencer Grant had no idea what drew him to the bar with the red door. He thought he would just sit down, have a slow beer or two, and talk to a stranger. He couldn’t know that it would lead to a narrow escape from a bungalow targeted by a SWAT team. Or that it would leave him a wanted man.

But now Spencer is on the run from mysterious and ruthless men. He is in love with a woman he knows next to nothing about. And he is hiding from a past he can’t fully remember. On his trail is a shadowy security agency that answers to no one - including the U.S. government - and a man who considers himself a compassionate Angel of Death. But worst of all, Spencer Grant is on a collision course with inner demons he thought he’d buried years ago - inner demons that could destroy him if his enemies don’t first.

Dean is one of those authors that just knows how to thread an amazing story, the character development is just brilliant! The way he dives into their psyche really draws you in. You feel so connected to all of the characters even the bad ones. The plot was stunning. The narration was brilliantly executed. He had the perfect tone for the story that he was telling.

Epic!

An excellent story line.

However, the narration is truly awful in my opinion. The simpering, affected, sickening tones that the narrator uses made me feel physically sick in places.

Particularly his tones during Eve's bedroom performance. And also some of the descriptions of people, it makes him sould like a pervert.

And then to cap it all, at the end, Ron develops a perfect British accent - except that it is Australian!!

Nauseating narration

I've read this book many times and just listened for the first time. its action filled with some of the most despicable characters ever dreamed up. one of Koontz's best works. I'd love a sequel.

Slow burner for me. Koontz goes into too much detail and turns what should be a gripping, exciting situation into a snail race.......

It does improve though. I'm glad a stick with it. The narrator is outstanding and really does bring the characters to life.

Stick with it......
