Description

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JANE HAWK SERIES
 
Meet Jane Hawk—a remarkable new heroine certain to become an icon of suspense. “This gripping thriller grabs readers from the first few pages and sweeps them along to the rousing finale.”—Booklist

“I very much need to be dead.”

These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for—but 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 important—so terrifying—that 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 ruthless—and who is driven by a righteous rage they can never comprehend. Because it is born of love.

Don’t miss any of Dean Koontz’s gripping Jane Hawk thrillers:
THE SILENT CORNER • THE WHISPERING ROOM • THE CROOKED STAIRCASE • THE FORBIDDEN DOOR • THE NIGHT WINDOW

Praise for The Silent Corner

“Gripping . . . The paranoia and mystery increase as the story unfolds. . . . Koontz has created [a] wonderful character in Jane Hawk. . . . Koontz rocks it again.”—Associated Press
 
“In this era of stingy text-message prose, Mr. Koontz is practically Shakespeare. . . . The Silent Corner brims with both action and emotion.”Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
 
The Silent Corner is vintage Dean Koontz: paranoia-fueled suspense . . . sleek and highly realized action, developed characters, and more twists and turns than any two ordinary novels combined. . . . As relevant to current events as it is audacious . . . amongst Dean Koontz’s finest contemporary work.”Mystery Scene
 
“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 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 Reviews (starred review)

    Loved it! So glad that I started this series. Such an intelligent and thought provoking character. As usual Mr. Koontz is a touch too elaborately descriptive but that’s ok, I missed reading him. Haven’t since the last Odd Thomas broke my heart.
  • Keep reading…..

    Dean Koontz outdid himself in the Jane Hawk series. Eerily plausible, frighteningly gripping, this exposes the underbelly of a society that could very well be our own, and a hero we can love.

    Not what I was expecting. A smart protagonist with Reacher-like drive and focus. I enjoyed how the character was presented. A few convenient plot coincidences may have stretched the believability factor a bit, but a fun read overall. Moves along at a fast pace.
  • Not so much fiction

    i understand that dean koontz is a literary legend but this prose is so dense that you could take excerpts of this book and piece together a short story called "every thought dean koontz has ever had about the way clouds look" and it would still make me fall asleep a little slower than this did

    Maybe it’s just me and my lack of comprehension, but I feel as though I was dropped into an already ongoing storyline, and then plucked back out of it when the author got tired of writing. Many plot holes and unresolved questions abound.
