But all their power and viciousness may not be enough to stop a woman as clever as they are cold-blooded, as relentless as they are ruthlessand who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love.
Advance praise for *The Silent Corner*
A proven specialist in action scenes, Koontz pulls off some doozies here. . . . The book is full of neat touches . . . and the prose, as always in a Koontz novel, is first-rate. Perhaps Koontzs leanest, meanest thriller, this initial entry in a new series introduces a smart, appealing heroine who can outthink as well as outshoot the baddest of bad dudes.Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Acclaim for Dean Koontz
Koontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thrillerand perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form.***The Star-Ledger *Koontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish.Los Angeles Times
There is no one who can match Dean Koontz for pure excitement when writing highly charged thrillers. . . . [He] writes thrillers that move so fast they make every other thriller writer seem to be standing still.**The *Denver Post *Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound.Richmond Times-Dispatch
Koontz is one of the great suspense authors. . . . Theres no bestselling author of popular fiction . . . whose sentences offer more musicality. [His] characters are memorable and his unique mix of suspense and humor absorbing. . . . Great kudos to Koontz for creating, within the strictures of popular fiction . . . [a] notable novel of ideas and of moral imperatives.***Publishers Weekly ***There are few authors who can match [Koontz] for sheer page-turning power. His plots are compelling and unpredictable, the characters engaging, and the wording as sleek and on-target as a guided missile. Anything can happen.**Toledo* Blade*
