Writing his unusual heroine, Koontz keeps the pages alive with attitude as well as action. “An absorbing thriller full of fresh touches. But nothing can prepare her for the chilling truth that awaits when she descends the crooked staircase to the dark and dreadful place where her long nightmare was born. Propelled by her righteous fury and implacable insistence on justice, Jane will make her way from southern Southern California to the snow-swept slopes of Lake Tahoe to confront head-on the lethal forces arrayed against her. Jane’s ruthless pursuers can’t stop her from drawing a bead on her prey: a cunning man with connections in high places, a twisted soul of unspeakable depths with an army of professional killers on call. Deploying every resource their malign nexus of power and technology commands, Jane’s enemies are determined to see her dead. Battling the strange epidemic of murder-suicides that claimed Jane’s husband, and is escalating across the country, has made the rogue FBI agent a wanted fugitive, relentlessly hunted not only by the government but by the secret cabal behind the plot. But as long as she’s breathing, she’ll never cease her one-woman war against the terrifying conspiracy that threatens the freedom-and free will-of millions. Jane Hawk knows she may be living on borrowed time.
