THE EXPLOSIVE NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SILENT CORNER

‘I will come for you. Nothing can stop me!’

Rogue FBI agent Jane Hawk is on the trail of the members of a murderous organisation who drove her husband — and scores of other fine individuals — to commit suicide for no explicable reason. After discovering their plan to subjugate the world by means of an insidious new technology, she has been hunting them down one by one. Now she is America’s most wanted, and the organisation is closing in on her beloved five-year-old son, whom she sent into protective hiding with her dearest friends. Faced with insurmountable odds, but armed with a mother’s love for her son, Jane will stop at nothing to save him. But even if she can get to him in time, there’s still the risk that the forbidden door will be opened and an unimaginable terror unleashed. Jane’s courage, wits, discipline and skill will be tested as never before, as she searches for a way through an ever-contracting labyrinth of terror. ‘Readers will clamour for more tales involving Hawk and her quest for justice. Koontz rocks it again’ — Washington Times ‘Perhaps Koontz’s 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 , starred review JANE HAWK — AMERICA’S #1 FUGITIVE — CONFRONTS HER WORST NIGHTMARE WHEN HER ENEMIES STRIKE SHOCKINGLY CLOSE TO HOME Praise for The Silent Corner :
