The Husband
(Hardcover)
May 30, 2006

Koontz (Forever Odd) is likely to have himself another
bestseller
in this pulse-pounding thriller with echoes of Hitchcock and Cornell Woolrich. One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty
gets a call on his cell phone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved
wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to
come up with $2 million in cash. Of course, he's warned not to involve
the police. While Mitch is still on the phone, the kidnapper proves his
seriousness by directing Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across
the street. A moment later the man is shot dead. Mitch must walk a fine
line—cooperating with the police inquiry into this murder without
revealing Holly's plight. Koontz ratchets up the tension in a manner
sure to captivate most readers, though some may find the ending
anticlimactic. |

Forever Odd: A Novel
(Hardcover)
November 29, 2005
|
Every so often a
character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he
seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned.
For such a character, one book is not enough–readers must know what
happens next. Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have
been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry
that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique
young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts
suspense and terror, adventure and mystery–and altogether irresistibly
odd. We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. He’s the most unlikely
hero you’ll ever meet–an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never
look at twice. But there’s so much more to any of us than meets the
eye–and that goes triple for Odd Thomas.

Velocity
(Paperback)
April 25, 2006
|
Dean Koontz’s
unique talent for writing terrifying thrillers with a heart and soul
is nowhere more evident than in this latest suspense masterpiece
that pits one man against the ultimate deadline. If there were speed
limits for the sheer pulse-racing excitement allowed in one novel,
Velocity would break them all. Get ready for the ride
of your life. Bill Wile is an
easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But
that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour
bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield
wiper of his car. If you don’t take this note to the police and
get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher. If you
do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly
woman active in charity work. You have four hours to decide. The
choice is yours. |
