In the aftermath, his widow, Jane Hawk, does what all her grief, fear, and fury demand: find the truth, no matter what.
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.
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.

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)

Great read
Usual Koontz, good reading. I look forward to sequel.
Always a great story & well written. Keeps you on edge.
I like just about everything he writes. I’ve never been disappointed
Dean Koontz never disappoints! I have read almost all his books and this series is going to be great!
The old Dean points is back!
Very good Dean Koontz book.
Dean Koontz is one of my favorite writers but I found the plot way too similar to his frankenstein series
Jane Hawk – new Koontz smart, brave heroine.
I love that Dean Koontz has created a female protagonist series. Such an interesting premise that makes you think about the pitfall of technology.
Koontz is always terrific. Silent Corner again gives us great character development, thought provoking story, and a “can’t put it down” style.
Great story, very human
I always check when I see a new Dean Koontz – I have enjoyed his books for years & this one does not disappoint! Good read, keeps your interest from the start! If you’re a Koontz fan, don’t hesitate, and if you’re not – this one will get you started!
It started slowly, but, finally captured my interest, as most Koontz novels do. I didn’t particularly “like” the story, but, I did finish it. You must be sort of fearless to accept the possibilities of the storyline. UGH
Not his best, but still good.
very descriptive writing. Author describes and makes me feel like I’m there viewing the scene.
The scary thing about Dean koontz books is that you can envision something like this happening. Keeps you on your toes the whole time.
Couldn’t put it down! Loved it!
VERY original and thought provoking–a return to the author’s historical best. I’ve already bought the sequel!
too tedious too much preaching about big brother
