I either love or hate books written by Mr. Koontz. This book I happen to love. It was fast paced, the main guy was relatable to a certain degree, the woman was heroic and gutsy, and the villian is crazy, methodical, and cold blooded. This is one of his books I would definately recommend you to read.
Synopsis: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes this pulse-pounding thriller that starts with a terrifying decision we all might face one day: Help—or run. Timothy Carrier is an ordinary guy. He enjoys a beer after work at his friend’s tavern, the eccentric customers and amusing conversations. But tonight is no ordinary night. The jittery man sitting beside him has mistaken Tim for someone else—and passes him an envelope stuffed with cash and the photo of a pretty woman. “Ten thousand now. You get the rest when she’s gone.” Tim Carrier always thought he knew the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. But tonight everything he thought he knew—even about himself—will be challenged. For Tim Carrier is at the center of a mystery of extraordinary proportions, the one man who can save an innocent life and stop a killer as relentless as evil incarnate. But first he must discover resources within himself of which he never dreamed, capacities that will transform his idea of who he is and what it takes to be . . .
Why I loved this book: Tim is a regular working class guy that is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Most of the time authors manage to hook me in but can not keep my attention. I am pleased to say that this story kept me captivated from page one to the very end. I would give this book a 4/5, it is not perfect but damn near close. The only thing I did not like was the cover. It did not really go with the story at all. Also is it just me or does Dean Koontz writing and story telling style seem to be like a fine wine and get better with age?
