No - it was a crime novel I thought... about a real life murder... or do I have him confused with someone else?
You may be confusing him with someone else. Koontz is considered "horror" like King. He does get way out in left field, especially as he got more popular. Bad stuff I did not enjoy at all. But Watchers...well you have to read it to understand. It is so well written, great characters, humor, pathos, excitment, some horror yes, but over all it's great, and you'll love the dog:)
