Praise for The Silent Corner
“Gripping . . . The paranoia and mystery increase as the story unfolds. . . . Koontz has created [a] wonderful character in Jane Hawk. . . . Koontz rocks it again.”—Associated Press
“In this era of stingy text-message prose, Mr. Koontz is practically Shakespeare. . . . The Silent Corner brims with both action and emotion.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The Silent Corner is vintage Dean Koontz: paranoia-fueled suspense . . . sleek and highly realized action, developed characters, and more twists and turns than any two ordinary novels combined. . . . As relevant to current events as it is audacious . . . amongst Dean Koontz’s finest contemporary work.”—Mystery Scene
“A proven specialist in action scenes, Koontz pulls off some doozies here. . . . The book is full of neat touches. . . . And the prose, as always in a Koontz novel, is first-rate. Perhaps Koontz’s leanest, meanest thriller, this initial entry in a new series introduces a smart, appealing heroine who can outthink as well as outshoot the baddest of bad dudes.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A girl book. Knew who it was after half way through the book. Not a book for a man.
Love this series.
This is the Jane hawk series by dean koontz. She is in the FBI and becomes a rogue agent because of information she had discovered about a conspiracy going very high up in the government. This story is like a James Patterson or john Grissom novel but with a twist. It is a page turner.
This book terrified me.
This series is one of the best that I have had the pleasure to read.
So great to read about characters that you can care about!
I immediately checked out the next book in the series and I have a hold for the Crooked Staircase. Could not put it down!
Jane Hawk is an FBI agent on leave following the death of her beloved husband, Nick. She is driven to prove that her husband did not take his own life, but was compelled to do so. As Jane begins to investigate the upward trend in suicides and the mysterious notes left by some, she begins to realize that an organization is behind the deaths. Determined to find the people responsible takes Jane on a journey that puts not only her life, but the life of her young son at risk.
I literally could not put this book down. If you are looking for an action-packed story with a gutsy heroine, this is the book for you.
The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz introduces miscreant FBI agent Jane Hawk, who is beset by doubts about her husbands death, and many others for that matter. She detects patterns in the untimely deaths and so begins a crusade to find out the truth. Snakes in the grass are everywhere but Jane has one powerful ally – righteous rage.
So different than other books by Dean Koontz. But I enjoyed this book, liked that the main character was a woman and she was tough and took action! Makes you wonder if these things could happen. It’s definitely a series, need to read the next book.
Can’t wait to read the next one
Lived up to everything I love about Dean Koontz books
GREAT BOOK! One of Dean Koontz best ever books Can’t wait for the next in series.
It was one that was very hard to put down. I can’t wait to the the next book in this series.
Loved it. As usual Dean Koontz has another unforgettable character in Jane Hawk. A page turner, I couldn’t put it down. Have already started the next in this series. Highly recommend reading this book if you are a fan of this author.
kept me reading late into the night. Another good one from Koontz.
The Jane Hawk series is one of Koontz’s better series. A conspiracy of social manipulators targets her for extinction.
Anything by Dean Koonz is wonderful reading!!
Kind of slow for one of his books.
Did not want it to end! Waiting to find the next one!
