Book description
Chyna Shepherd's violent childhood has taught her to be a survivor but
nothing has prepared her for facing Edgler Vess, a sociopath intent on
murder. He lives for one purpose only: to satisfy all appetites as they
arise, seeking ever more outrageous experience, and immersing himself in
sensation. To live with intensity. When he attacks her friend, Laura,
Chyna's instincts protect her. Not knowing Laura is already dead, Chyna
follows when Vess carries her body to his motor home - a dungeon and
morgue on wheels. She hoped to save her friend, but instead becomes
trapped there as the killer, unaware of her presence, drives away. At
first her sole aim is to get out alive. But when she learns the identity
of the killer's next intended victim, and when circumstances ensure that
only she can save that precious life, she must face the fact that a
moral life requires the acceptance of unwanted responsibilities. She
discovers depths of courage she didn't know she possessed - and takes
risks beyond any that she ever imagined she could endure. 'Koontz's
