官网上的介绍
Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she's a legend for the risks she'll take to save an animal from abuse. Among her friends, Amy's heedless devotion is often cause for concern. To widower Brian McCarthy, whose commitment she can't allow herself to return, Amy's behavior is far more puzzling and hides a shattering secret.
No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, nor when she takes the female golden into her home. The bond between Amy and Nickie is immediate and uncanny. Even her two other goldens, Fred and Ethel, recognize Nickie as special, a natural alpha. But the instant joy Nickie brings is shadowed by a series of eerie incidents. An ominous stranger. A mysterious home invasion. And the unmistakable sense that someone is watching Amy's every move and that, whoever it is, he's not alone.
Someone has come back to turn Amy into the desperate, hunted creature she's always been there to save. But now there's no one to save Amy and those she loves. From its breathtaking opening scene to its shocking climax, The Darkest Evening of the Year is Dean Koontz at his finest, a transcendent thriller certain to have readers turning pages until dawn.
自己翻译了一下，比较烂而且有错误，还是直接看英文介绍来得好。
Amy Redwing将她的一生贡献给了她在南加州创建的保护濒危金毛猎犬的组织。在爱狗者中，她是一个肯为保护动物免遭虐待而不惜冒险的传奇人物。Amy那无意的热爱与投入经常会引起她朋友们的担忧。对于Brian McCarthy这个鳏夫而言，AMY的执着远不仅仅是令人费解，而是有着其隐藏的且不可告人的秘密。
没有人会为艾米冒生命危险救了Nickie这件事而感到惊讶，也不会有人因她带一只雌性金毛猎犬回家而惊讶。将Amy与Nickie联结在一起的纽带是紧密却又离奇的。Amy的另外两条金色猎犬，Fred与Ethel感觉到Nickie是一条特别的狗——天生的领头犬（原文：a natural alpha，这我翻不来）。但是，Nickie带来的欣喜很快就因一系列可怕事件而蒙上了阴影：一个让人感到不祥的陌生人，一件神秘的房屋非法入侵事件，一种清晰的感觉：某个人正在监视Amy的一举一动，而且他还有同伙。
有人想将Amy致于绝望的境地，不断的猎杀她一直保护的动物。但是现在，没有人会拯救Amy以及她所爱的事物。从惊险的开头一直到让人惊叹的高潮，The Darkest Evening of the Year是一本会让读者爱不释手的优秀惊险小说。
