The Silent Corner: A Novel of Suspense

nA dazzling new series, a pure adrenaline rush, debuts with Jane Hawk, a remarkable heroine certain to become an icon of suspense n I very much need to be dead. n nThese 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. n n 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. n n 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. n nLook for a special preview of Dean Koontz's next Jane Hawk novel, The Whispering Room, in the back of the book. n nDon't miss any of Dean Koontz's gripping Jane Hawk thrillers: nTHE SILENT CORNER - THE WHISPERING ROOM - THE CROOKED STAIRCASE n nPraise for The Silent Corner n nGripping . . .
