Billy is safely locked away, but not the "ghost", if the ghost exists, that links these murders with past crimes, and with John Calvino. Anything could happen, and surely will-- again."

  • "John Calvino jest policjantem z wydziału zabójstw. Przed dwudziestu laty psychopatyczny zabójca Alton Blackwood bestialsko zamordował jego rodziców i siostry, a wcześniej zabił trzy inne rodziny. Teraz w jego mieście popełniono identyczną zbrodnię: młody chłopiec zabił wszystkich członków swojej rodziny w ten sam sposób i w tej samej kolejności, stosując takie same rytuały, jak przedtem Blackwood. Zaniepokojony tym podobieństwem, John próbuje ustalić związek pomiędzy przeszłością a teraźniejszością i dokonuje przerażającego odkrycia: Blackwood, pochowany przed dwudziestu laty, jakimś cudem powrócił do świata żywych i zamierza powtórzyć całą serię morderstw. Złowrogi upiór zaczyna prześladować rodzinę Johna, którą wybrał sobie na ostatni cel. John rozpaczliwie szuka sposobu, żeby ocalić swoich bliskich przed niewidzialną, niematerialną siłą, zdolną przybierać niemal dowolną postać. Tymczasem wokół niego zaczynają ginąć ludzie, morderca z zaświatów konsekwentnie realizuje swój obłąkany plan, a termin ostatecznej rozgrywki zbliża się nieubłaganie. Jak można pokonać przeciwnika, który posiadł moc zmartwychwstania i nie całkiem bezpodstawnie uważa się za wcielenie samej Śmierci?"
  • "Das Böse stirbt niemals John Calvino ist erst 14, als seine gesamte Familie vom Rabenmann ermordet wird. Es gelingt ihm, den Täter zu erschiessen. Doch zwei Jahrzehnte später kommt es erneut zu einem Mordfall, der eindeutig die Handschrift des Rabenmanns erkennen lässt. Und John, der mittlerweile selbst Familienvater ist, spürt, dass seine Liebsten als nächste Opfer auserkoren sind ... Zwei Jahrzehnte ist es her, dass Alton Turner Blackwood, der Rabenmann, vier Familien brutal ermordete. Seine blutige Serie endete erst, als der vierzehnjährige Sohn der letzten Familie ihn erschoss: John Calvino. Doch nun taucht plötzlich ein Mörder auf, der die Untaten von einst exakt kopiert. John, der damals die eigene Familie nicht mehr retten konnte und seitdem schwer gezeichnet ist, ermittelt als Polizist in dem Fall. Voller Entsetzen entdeckt er, dass der Täter offensichtlich feststeht: Es war wohl der vierzehnjährige Sohn der Familie, der seine engsten Angehörigen grausam tötete. Als Detective hält sich John sonst nur an klare Fakten. Aber könnte dieser Junge - bislang ein braver Musterschüler - tatsächlich vom Bösen besessen sein? Und wenn ja: Wie sollten John, seine Frau, die Töchter und der bald vierzehnjährige Sohn Zach der Rache des Rabenmanns entrinnen? Dean Koontz wurde 1945 in Pennsylvania geboren und lebt heute mit seiner Frau in Kalifornien. Seine zahlreichen Romane - Thriller und Horrorromane - wurden in 38 Sprachen übersetzt und sämtlich zu internationalen Bestsellern. Weltweit wurden bislang 400 Millionen Exemplare seiner Bücher verkauft. Zuletzt bei Heyne erschienen: 'Der Rabenmann'"

  • "In the late summer of a long-ago year, a killer arrived in a small city. His name was Alton Turner Blackwood, and in the space of a few months he brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy. Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, re-creating in detail Blackwood's crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family -- his wife and three children -- will be targets in the fourth crime, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was fourteen and killed their slayer. As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey, that sometimes the dead return. Here is a ghost story like no other you have read. In the Calvinos, Dean Koontz brings to life a family that might be your own, in a war for their survival against an adversary more malevolent than any he has yet created, with their own home the battleground. Of all his acclaimed novels, none exceeds What the Night Knows in power, in chilling suspense, and in sheer mesmerizing storytelling."@en
