The Silent Corner: A Novel of Suspense - Dean Koontz

\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 . . .
