Dean Koontz, recognized as a New York Times bestselling master of suspense, delivers a thriller that examines the psychology behind organ transplantation. The narrative follows Ryan Perry, a thirty-four-year-old man whose life stabilizes after receiving a heart transplant that saved him from death. His peace shatters when he begins encountering strange messages centered on the phrase Your heart belongs to me.
