~Against their better judgment, Julie and Bobby Dakota, a husband and wife investigating team from Orange County, California, decide to help Frank Pollard unravel what has been happening to him when he sleeps. It seems that he is suffering from a peculiar form of amnesia, since he is unable to remember where he goes when he is asleep. Frank informs Julie and Bobby that he has awakened to find himself in possession of bags of money and a large number of very rare red diamonds. Frank also says that he has found black sand and blood. He is a very frightened man. Out of compassion and curiosity, the Dakota team joins forces with Frank Pollard to solve his mystery.~

Dean R. Koontz’s prose is straightforward and precise. He is not a flashy writer. He is a storyteller in the best sense of the term. There are very few passages that are overwritten. Chapters alternate from one character’s story to another until the surprise ending. Along the way, the Dakotas must reckon with a mad killer who sucks the blood of his victims and who appears to have some connection with Frank.
