Diesel growl and friction drone of eighteen tires on asphalt reminded her that she was in a motel, near the interstate, and it was. JANE HAWK WOKE in the cool dark and for a moment could not remember where she had gone to sleep, only that as always she was in a queen- or king-size bed and that her pistol lay under the pillow on which the head of a companion would have rested had she not been traveling alone.

'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Too many have already died, and those responsible will learn that all their malevolent power 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. and dangerously devoted to protecting something profoundly important―or terrifying―enough to exterminate any and all in their way. Because those arrayed against her are legion. No one except Jane.īut ahead lies only risk. Although people of talent and accomplishment, people admired and happy and sound of mind, have recently been committing suicide in surprising numbers, no one else is willing to give up everything, just to seek, to find, to know. There is no one else to speak for Jane’s husband―or the others who have followed him into death at their own hands.

unless she does what all the grief, fear, confusion, and fury inside of her demand: find the truth, no matter what. In the void that remains stands his widow, Jane, surrounded by questions destined to go unanswered. These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for―but took his own life. A dazzling new series debuts with a remarkable heroine certain to become a new icon of suspense, propelled by the singular narrative genius of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
