Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
“Ten thousand now. You get the rest when she’s gone.”
The stranger walks out, leaving a photo of the pretty woman marked for death, and her address. But things are about to get worse. In minutes another stranger sits next to Tim. This one is a cold-blooded killer who believes Tim is the man who has hired him.
Thinking fast, Tim says, “I’ve had a change of heart. You get ten thousand—for doing nothing. Call it a no-kill fee.” He keeps the photo and gives the money to the hired killer. And when Tim secretly follows the man out of the tavern, he gets a further shock: the hired killer is a cop.
Suddenly, Tim Carrier, an ordinary guy, is at the center of a mystery of extraordinary proportions, the one man who can save an innocent life and stop a killer far more powerful than any cop…and as relentless as evil incarnate. But first Tim must discover within himself the capacity for selflessness, endurance, and courage that can turn even an ordinary man into a hero, inner resources that will transform his idea of who he is and what it takes to be The Good Guy.

This book sounded somewhat similar to one of my favorite movies – Red Rock West (directed by John Dahl and starring Nicholas Cage & Dennis Hopper) and I have always enjoyed reading Koontz.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a Koontz novel – I used to read him all of the time – I forgot what a master of metaphors he is. . . I used to always pick my favorite ones from each book – my favorite metaphor in this book is:
‘The mild May night breathed as shallowly as an anesthetized patient waiting for the surgeon.’ I love it!
Like all Koontz’s novels, this one is a great read! One of those books that keeps you turning pages, into the wee hours of the morning. . .
I particularly liked the killer in this novel – one whom you will always remember!
