Hideaway

If the thrill of Stephen King's work captivates you and Harlan Coben's "The Stranger" sent chills down your spine in the most thrilling way, then "Hideaway" by Dean Koontz is a must-read. An acclaimed thriller by a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author, this novel combines the suspenseful narrative style Koontz is renowned for with a gripping story. As recounted by The Times, Koontz is 'not just a master of our darkest dreams but also a literary juggler'. In "Hideaway," Hatch Harrison becomes a miracle case when, after a devastating accident, he is brought back to life by a highly skilled doctor. Grateful for this miraculous second chance, Hatch and his wife Lindsey start living each day to the fullest, cherishing every moment. However, their renewed joy is soon overshadowed by a series of unnerving and mysterious occurrences that force them into a confrontation with the unknown. Although Hatch experienced no visions of an afterlife during his near-death experience, he begins to suspect that he might have returned with something sinister. As people with past grievances against the Harrisons start to meet violent ends, Hatch is plunged into self-doubt, questioning his own innocence. He is forced to grapple with the unsettling thought that this life might simply be a precursor to a more sinister realm beyond.
