Three babies are born in California on the same night, and the lives of the three families touch in unexpected ways. Bartholomew Lampion, born blind, is a gifted child with unusual abilities, while a policeman, a wealthy man and a killer named Junior Cain are all drawn into events that stem from the night of the births. Koontz blends a thriller with elements of the supernatural and a faith in goodness, running over several decades and many characters.
If you like long, suspenseful popular fiction where good and evil are clearly drawn and coincidence feels like fate, it fits. It is a page-turner for anyone who likes big-hearted thrillers.
Escapist; a moderate read.
