New York N.Y : Random House, 338. 338. Tommy Phan a detective novelist living in southern California, and a chaser of the American dream. He drives his brand new Corvette one day to discover a strange doll on his porch.It's rather like a ragdoll, but entirely covered with white cloth, having no face no hair or clothes, little more than a doll blank. Where the eyes should be there are two crossed stiches of black thread. Five sets of crossed black stiches make the mouth, and another pair form an x over the heart. That night he hears a odd little popping sound and looks up to see the crossed stiches breaking over the dolls heart. When he picks the doll up he feels something pulsing in it's chest .Another thread unravels to reveal a reptilian green eye --not a dolls eye because it blinks.Tommy Phan pursues the thing as it scrambles away in his house, only to become the pursued. 20010314. suspense/ horror/ unbelievable/ pursuit/.
