A dazzling new series, a pure adrenaline rush, debuts with Jane Hawk, a remarkable heroine certain to become an icon of suspense
โI very much need to be dead.โ
These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live forโbut took his own life. In the aftermath, his widow, Jane Hawk, does what all her grief, fear, and fury demand: find the truth, no matter what.
People of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have been committing suicide in surprising numbers. When Jane seeks to learn why , she becomes the most-wanted fugitive in America. Her powerful enemies are protecting a secret so importantโso terrifyingโthat they will exterminate anyone in their way.
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 ruthlessโand who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love.
Jane Hawkโs story continues in The Whispering Room.
*Advance praise for The Silent Corner *
โA 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 Koontzโs 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.โโ Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
โThis gripping thriller grabs readers from the first few pages and sweeps them along to the rousing finale.โ*โBooklist *
โFantastically written (as always by Mr. Koontz) . . . You are riveted on page one. . . . The man who gave us unbelievable characters in the past (Miss you, Odd Thomas) has now given us a brand new one that will, hands-down, become another fan favorite. 5 stars!โ*โSuspense Magazine *
Acclaim for Dean Koontz
โKoontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thrillerโand perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form.โโ _The Star-Ledger _
โKoontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish.โ_ โ Los Angeles Times**_
โThere 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.โโ The _Denver Post _
โDean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound.โ_ โ Richmond Times-Dispatch**_
โKoontz is one of the great suspense authors. . . . Thereโs 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.โโ _Publishers Weekly _
โThere 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.โ_โ_Toledo* Blade*
