The Intruders 
For Jack Whalen, it all starts with a visit from a childhood friend, now a lawyer, who asks for his help on an odd case. The family members of a scientist have been brutally murdered, and the scientist—who may have had something to hide—is nowhere to be found.
But Jack has more pressing matters on his mind. His wife has told him that she's on a routine business trip to Seattle, yet she hasn't checked into her hotel. Calls to her cell phone go unanswered, and when Jack travels to Seattle to investigate, she's vanished.
And in Oregon a little girl goes missing. She's found miles away, but it soon becomes clear that she's not an innocent victim, and is far from defenseless.Unusual events, all leading to the same place. As a former patrol cop who left the force under difficult circumstances, Jack is determined to find some answers. Yet the more he digs, the more the intrigue grows. Searching into the dark secrets of a past that still haunts him, Jack discovers that the truth has roots deeper and more evil than he ever feared.
I'm a big fan of Michael Marshall. He has a wonderful way of building character and suspense that fully fleshes out the world he's depicting while keeping those pages turning. I've gone back to this book several times since I first read in 2007. It is a highly original and creepy concept delivered in a perfect, dread-filled way. Highly recommend.

I liked this book but I had recently read the Straw Men and next two in that series which were thrilling and hard to put aside long enough to even go cook a meal. This was okay and many readers will enjoy it quite a bit. I was spoiled by the action and thrills in the first three I read so that has more to do with my rating.
Compared by critics to Stephen King and Philip K. Dick, British novelist Michael Marshall crosses genre barriers, from crime to horror to science fiction, in the fast-paced, action-packed Intruders. As the story takes one creepy, bizarre turn after another, Marshall's convincing characters act consistently and believably in a progressively implausible situation. A few complaints included the intricate plotting and the book's length, but most of the critics' objections resulted from the novel's
This has been on my to-read list ever since I watched the excellent and only season of TV adapted from this novel by the BBC way back in 2014 who inexplicably cancelled it before completing the narrative. Unfortunately it's one of the cases where the "movie" was much better than the book. Whoever edited this should be banned from creative input for life. The fix was simple. Simply dumping the first person narrative chapters spent inside the voice of the detective would have made all the
We loved the TV series the Intruders based on the book, so we read the book and it, while slightly different, is a really good book, a detective mystery story with a somewhat supernatural twist. In fact, we liked this book so much that were going to read other of Michael Marshalls books (apparently he also writes as Michael Marshall Smith) based on the strength of this one. Really, we wish hed do a sequel.The Silver Elves authors of The Elves of Lyndarys: A Magical Tale of Modern Faerie Folk.
