Description

'KOKO ' Only four men knew what it meant. Vietnam vets. One was a doctor. One was a lawyer. One was a working stiff. One was a writer. All were as different as men could be - yet all were bound eternally together by a single shattering secret. And now they are joined together again on a quest that could take them from the graveyards and fleshpots of the Far East to the human jungle of New York, hunting an inhuman ghost of the past risen from nightmare darkness to kill and kill

Reviews

'Brilliantly written ... an inspired thriller ... his finest work.' Washington Post 'Complexly plotted, thickly layered evil ... the ultimate horror!' New York Times 'A blood-chilling hair-raiser!' Los Angeles Times 'Gruesome, double-edged ... an enormously entertaining and scary story ... rich, complex, dark and tough to put down' New York Daily News 'Peter Straub is the great classicist of horror fiction. His style, his storytelling and his grasp of horror's true potential know few equals. In any genre, a world-class author.' CLIVE BARKER
