Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant fathers' waiting room and his dying father's bedside.

Doch kurz vor seinem Tode sprach der alte Mann noch ein letztes Mal in zusammenhängenden Worten: Er sagte die Geburtsgrösse Jimmys und sein Gewicht voraus - aber auch fünf schreckliche Tage in seinem späteren Leben, die ihn und seine Lieben an den Rand der Existenz führen. Die ersten Informationen erweisen sich als auf Zentimeter und Gramm genau richtig - umso ernster weiss die Familie die Schreckensdaten zu nehmen. Dabei ist der Tag der Geburt noch gar nicht mitgerechnet, an dem bereits Fürchterliches passiert: Ein verrückter Clown, dessen Frau in den Geburtswehen stirbt, zieht seine Pistole und läuft wahllos mordend durchs Krankenhaus. Was für Schrecken mögen auf Jimmy dann erst in der Zukunft warten? Welche Albträume wird er noch durchleben müssen? Und welche unfassbar böse Kraft steht hinter all dem Unheil? Dean Koontz wurde 1945 in Pennsylvania geboren und lebt heute mit seiner Frau in Kalifornien.
