Well this book proves that once you start one of Dean Koontz's books you don't want to put it down. right from the beginning he grabs your attention and so have hasn't given it back. It turns out the man who had recently taken Dr. Markwell did so to prevent him from delivering the baby he was supposed to. The mans name is Stefan and he seems to be some sort of guardian or something. I got this idea because he knew all about the Doctor his drinking habits and all about the child he was supposed to be delivering. Stefan holds Markwell hostage for about an hour just long enough for him to miss the delivery then leaves. From this point the book's focus shifts away from Markwell and more toward the newly born child. It is a baby girl named Laura her fathers name is Bob Shane and her mother died while giving birth. Now while in the nursery her father comes in to hold her and when Bob takes a look out of the window into the lobby he notices a man staring in at his daughter he is holding in his arms. This strange man just happens to be Stefan the same man who held Markwell hostage. This lead me to believe that Stefan is in fact a guardian for some one but not the person I originally thought. It turns out Dr. Markwell has held hostage to make sure he wouldn't deliver the baby in order to ensure that the child was delivered alive and stayed alive. I know I don't due this book justice by trying to describe it. It is a bit more confusing trying to explain than to actually read but I would suggest just reading the book and enjoy it.
