Helios has perfected his abilities to create human life, apparently soulless but enhanced creatures, a perfect race being infiltrated throughout society until the day Helios realizes his dream of replacing the human race.
He also develops a special bond with Arnie, who is also in danger. He claims Frankenstein is still alive in New Orleans, also known as Victor Helios, who presents as a city benefactor. He claims to be more than two centuries old, assembled from body parts, brought to life in a lightning strike–by Victor Frankenstein. He moves with lightning quickness, practicing an unusual sleight of hand, and tattooed on one side of his face, concealing extensive scars. He has come to New Orleans from a monastery abroad, ostensibly the inheritor of a theater. Carson’s first hint is a mysterious visitor, Deucalion. The fortress is an image, a warning that there is indeed danger afoot, far worse than just a serial killer. Carson also has charge of her autistic younger brother Arnie, building a castle fortress in his room. Maddison is her complement–utterly loyal as a partner, always able to deprecate both himself and Carson in a way that keeps it real. She is intense, hard-driving both inside a car and out. Detective partners Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison are leading the investigation. A few men have also died, with internal organs surgically removed.
A number of women have turned up dead–missing one part of their bodies–feet, hands, ears, lips surgically removed–you get the idea. Summary: A serial murderer is loose in New Orleans, and something far worse that two detectives begin to unravel, helped by a mysterious, tattooed figure by the name of Deucalion.Ī serial murderer is on the loose in New Orleans. Dean Koontz, the master storyteller, creates a bold new legend.Prodigal Son (Frankenstein Book One), Dean Koontz. Deucalion seeks one final confrontation with the evil genius who created him, Dr Frankenstein. She doesn't know Deucalion and she are on the same side. The cool, tough cop is soon talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more - and less - than human. But it's Deucalion, newly arrived in the city, who is the obvious suspect in the eyes of Detective Carson O'Connor. The action takes place in modern-day New Orleans where the next generation of Dr Frankenstein's monsters is wreaking havoc. The legendary monster is called Deucalion. Frankenstein's monster has survived the centuries to become a creature living in the shadows of modern civilization, a haunted and really quite heroic figure dedicated to battling the truly monstrous evil that has also survived the years: the cruel genius who gave him life, Dr Frankenstein. SOMEONE NEW IS PLAYING GOD The Frankenstein story updated to the 21st century by the great American storyteller Dean Koontz.
