Synopsis

From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. The mystery, the myth, the terror, and the magic continue. . . .They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever created—and they must be destroyed. Not even Victor Helios—once Frankenstein—can stop the engineered killers he’s set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Only the one-time “monster” Deucalion and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison, stand in their way. But as the three race to uncover the true dimensions of an age-old conspiracy, they will discover that Victor’s new, improved models have infiltrated every level of the city’s society . . . and far beyond.

4 Stars for City of Night: Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein #2 (audiobook) by Dean Koontz and Ed Gorman read by John Bedford Lloyd. I didn’t find this book as interesting as the first book.
