Heart-stopping thriller from the master of suspense. Bad things are starting to happen at the Pendleton, an eerie building with a tragic past.
The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill, a palace built in the late 19th century as a tycoons dream home. But its grandeur has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide and mass murder. Since being converted into luxury apartments in the 70s, however, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its fortunate residents among them ex-marine Bailey Hawk, songwriter Twyla Trahern and her young son Winny the Pendleton is a sanctuary, its dark past all but forgotten.
But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. It seems that whatever drove past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again.
As nightmare visions become real, a group of extraordinary individuals hold the key to humanitys destiny. Welcome to 77 Shadow Street.
Praise for Dean Koontz:
A terrific pursuit story clever, up-to-the-minute, and riveting Guardian
Theres surprise after surprise, including a killer finale a read-in-one-go novel Independent on Sunday
Velocity hits its pace from the first page and races through to a suitably climactic ending Sydney Sunday Telegraph
Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler The Times
Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying The New York Times
