Nu er den populære og prisvindende forfatter, der har ligget nr. 1 på New York Times bestseller liste med stort set alle sine bøger, igen aktuel med en helt ny spændingsserie om FBI-agenten, Jane Hawk. ”Jeg har virkelig behov for at være død.”Med disse ord nedfældet på et stykke papir tager en mand, der havde alt at leve for, sit eget liv. Han efterlader sig sin hustru Jane og en lille søn. Jane er en erfaren FBI- agent, der nægter at acceptere, at hendes mand, som hun har levet med i et lykkeligt og harmonisk ægteskab, kan have begået selvmord. Da hun begynder at grave i sagen, finder hun ud af, at en alarmerende lang række succesfulde mennesker med tilsyneladende gode og lykkelige liv ligeledes har begået selvmord, og hun kaster sig ud i en brutal jagt for at finde sandheden. Koste hvad det vil. Og omkostningerne bliver høje, da både hun og hendes søn trues på livet og Jane er pludselig den mest eftersøgte kvinde i USA. Hun bliver nødsaget til at gå under radaren. Jane Hawk er sej og følsom, hun er optaget af retfærdighed og af at gøre det der er rigtigt. En helt ny litterær heltinde, som vil begejstre Koontz læsere.
Jane Hawk – den modigste, mest vedholdende og fantastisk nye heltinde fortsætter sin kamp mod et verdensomspændende forbrydersyndikat i den medrivende fortsættelse til ”Det stille hjørne”."Ingen tid til forsinkelser. Gør det du blev født til. Berømmelsen er din, når du gør dette.” Det er disse ord, der giver ekko i baghovedet på den milde, elskelige skolelærer Cora Gundersen i sekunderne før, hun tager både sit eget liv og mange andres i en rystende voldshandling. Da det foruroligende indhold af hendes dagbog bliver fundet, tyder alt på, at hun var sindssyg. Jane Hawk ved bedre!
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 • THE CROOKED STAIRCASE • THE FORBIDDEN DOOR • THE NIGHT WINDOW Praise for The Whispering Room"Koontz has never exactly shied away from complex characters or situations. And this situation gets very complex indeed, as Jane pursues the people behind the conspiracy with the kind of single-minded relentlessness that makes the book absolutely spellbinding. As good as The Silent Corner was, this one's even better. . . . Koontz is on another roll with a new series that boasts a juicy premise and a compelling star. . . . 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
