From The Corner Of His Eye by Dean Koontz

A sprawling, suspenseful novel that follows interconnected lives in a small American town as a charismatic sociopath’s calculating cruelty sets off a chain of violence, forcing ordinary people to confront moral choices and unimaginable loss; as human courage, love, and sacrifice grow amid danger, unseen compassionate forces intervene in surprising ways, and the story examines fate, redemption, and the possibility of grace in the face of overwhelming darkness.
