ReviewsAcclaim for Dean Koontz   "Koontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller--and perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form." -- The Star-Ledger   "Koontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish." -- Los Angeles Times   "There 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." -- The Denver Post   "Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch   "Koontz is one of the great suspense authors. . . . There's 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." -- Publishers Weekly   "There 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." -- Toledo Blade
Series Volume Number1
SynopsisTHE 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), 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.

  • Great main character

    I haven't actually read the book yet. It is part of a trilogy and the others are good. So I suspect this one will be as well. Koontz is a good author and rarely writes a bad book.

  • Make a corner in your bookshelf for this winner!

    Dean is back with the new Hawk series. Like his earlier work, it was 'cannot put it down' suspense, with great storytelling and prose. I lost interest in his work over the past 15 years, as it seemed to be a rehash of his great stuff from the 'Watchers' era (Strangers, Twilight Eyes, etc). There is a supernatural element, but this is more focused on the suspense that Jane is going through being chased.

    Actually I purchased this for a relative who loves Dean Koontz books and series collections. She was thrilled to receive it on her birthday and read it immediately. She said it didn't let her down and I understand she just purchased the latest book of the series.
