Inhalt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? When this relentless rogue FBI agent comes knocking, her adversaries will have to answer-with their lives-in this thrilling Jane Hawk novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Corner. "Koontz continues the incredible saga of the robust character of Jane Hawk, and it's as terrific as the others in the series."-Associated Press "We're rewriting the play, and the play is this country, the world, the future. We break Jane's heart, we'll also break her will." She was one of the FBI's top agents until she became the nation's most-wanted fugitive. Now Jane Hawk may be all that stands between a free nation and its enslavement by a powerful secret society's terrifying mind-control technology. She couldn't save her husband, or the others whose lives have been destroyed, but equipped with superior tactical and survival skills-and the fury born of a broken heart and a hunger for justice-Jane has struck major blows against the insidious cabal. But Jane's enemies are about to hit back hard. If their best operatives can't outrun her, they mean to bring her running to them, using her five-year-old son as bait. Jane knows there's no underestimating their capabilities, but she must battle her way back across the country to the remote shelter where her boy is safely hidden . . . for now. As she moves resolutely forward, new threats begin to emerge: a growing number of brain-altered victims driven hopelessly, violently insane. With the madness spreading like a virus, the war between Jane and her enemies will become a fight for all their lives-against the lethal terror unleashed from behind the forbidden door.

Inhalt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? Jane Hawk-fiction's most relentless, resourceful, stunning new heroine-continues her battle against a murderous conspiracy in the riveting sequel to The Silent Corner. "No time to delay. Do what you were born to do. Fame will be yours when you do this." These are the words that ring in the mind of mild-mannered, beloved schoolteacher Cora Gundersun-just before she takes her own life, and many others', in a shocking act of carnage. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane. But Jane Hawk knows better. In the wake of her husband's inexplicable suicide-and the equally mysterious deaths of scores of other exemplary individuals-Jane picks up the trail of a secret cabal of powerful players who think themselves above the law and beyond punishment. But the ruthless people bent on hijacking America's future for their own monstrous ends never banked on a highly trained FBI agent willing to go rogue-and become the nation's most wanted fugitive-in order to derail their insidious plans to gain absolute power with a terrifying technological breakthrough. Driven by love for her lost husband and by fear for the five-year-old son she has sent into hiding, Jane Hawk has become an unstoppable predator. Those she is hunting will have nowhere to run when her shadow falls across them. Don't miss any of Dean Koontz's gripping Jane Hawk thrillers: THE SILENT CORNER ? THE WHISPERING ROOM ?

Pure gold."-Booklist (starred review) "A deeply layered, satisfying thriller that is character-driven and nearly impossible to put down . . . grounded in many real-world, current issues . . . [The Whispering Room] never loses sight of the classic political/sci-fi/thriller elements that make it so much fun to read."-Bookreporter Umfang: 512 S. ISBN: 978-0-345-54681-4

Inhalt: Jimmy Tock wird in der Sekunde geboren, in der sein Großvater stirbt. Doch kurz vor seinem Tode sprach der alte Mann noch ein letztes Mal in zusammenhängenden Worten: Er sagte die Geburtsgröße Jimmys und sein Gewicht voraus ? aber auch fünf schreckliche Tage in seinem späteren Leben, die ihn und seine Lieben an den Rand der Existenz führen. Die ersten Informationen erweisen sich als auf Zentimeter und Gramm genau richtig ? umso ernster weiß die Familie die Schreckensdaten zu nehmen. Dabei ist der Tag der Geburt noch gar nicht mitgerechnet, an dem bereits Fürchterliches passiert: Ein verrückter Clown, dessen Frau in den Geburtswehen stirbt, zieht seine Pistole und läuft wahllos mordend durchs Krankenhaus. Was für Schrecken mögen auf Jimmy dann erst in der Zukunft warten? Welche Albträume wird er noch durchleben müssen? Und welche unfassbar böse Kraft steht hinter all dem Unheil?
