Elsewhere by Dean Koontz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Likable characters and an interesting plot combine for an awesome read.

Jeffrey Coltrane befriends a homeless man (Ed) who ask him to hide a mysterious box and gives him instructions to destroy it unopened if he doesn't return within a specified time. Thinking that "Spooky Ed" is delusional and paranoid he really doesn't take his warnings seriously until Falkirk and his minions arrive in town. Jeff barely has time to hide the contents of the box (the box was too big to hide unopened in the amount of time Jeff had) before his home is invaded and searched by Falkirk and his agents. After they leave Amity's mouse accidentally activates the key and Amity, Jeff and the Mouse wind up in a different and much more dangerous multiverse.

Meanwhile another version of Ed in a different universe has befriended Michelle (in her timeline Amity and Jeff died, in their timeline Michelle walked out on them and was never heard from again) and makes plans to reunite the Coltranes.

After extreme peril to everyone involved with the "key to everywhere". Ed manages to get the reunited Coltrane family to the ideal world where they are safe from the people who want to harm them in their own timeline
