The FACE by Dean Koontz *****

Very good story about a guy who is an ex cop and works for "the face" an actor who is rarely home. Mostly he's there guarding the child the actor had with some flighty model in and out of rehab.

The child is very intelligent and strange things begin to develop like ghost phones ringing and not being recorded on the cops monitoring devices. There is someone determined to kidnap the kid.

Meantime there is murder and mayhem all over town and the police don't seem to even exist except for one cop a friend of the house cop. I can't remember all the names, the book has left the premises for the library already. I just know one cop believes in his friend who has visions from another dead friend who isn't really dead and is giving him obvious hints to protect the ex cop and the child. I just wish some other cops were involved connecting all the mass murders and crimes of the bad guy. He seems to be everywhere killing everyone and getting away with all of it.

Otherwise, edge of the seat Koontz as usual and I really liked it. Hard to put down for a second. Cooking and reading means you eat burnt stuff. :)
