Publisher's summary

A bloodthirsty sheriff is terrorizing a small Texas town where justice has been buried with his victims. Until Nameless arrives - a vigilante whose past is a mystery and whose future is written in blood.

Anyone who crosses Sheriff Russell Soakes is dead, missing, or warned. One of them is a single mother trying to protect her children but bracing herself for the worst. Nameless fears the outcome. He’s seen it in his visions. Now it’s time to teach the depraved Soakes a lesson in fear. But in turning predators into prey, will Nameless unearth a few secrets of his own?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes In the Heart of the Fire, part of Nameless, a riveting collection of short stories about a vigilante nomad, stripped of his memories and commissioned to kill. Follow him in each story, which can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

So Good!

The book is so good I read it twice. The character, Nameless, I have encountered in other stories. He is truly a mystery. the story is told from his point of view. he doesn't know who he is, or who his sponsor is, yet he continues with his tasks.

Excellent read

I enjoy Dean Koontz books and this is no exception. I’m looking forward to the next book in the nameless series. I enhanced my experience with the Audiobook. Reading and listening at different times was quite nice.

Very good short story

Well written and the narration was excellent. Looking forward to the other stories, hope they are just as entertaining.

A good start.

This is a fast listen. By reading other reviews you know it deals with pedophiles. Not a fun subject. It is a good start to a series or short stories though. I’m definitely picking up the second.

Love this author

I have not rebooked a bunch of short stories but this being a series by an author I fell in love with as a teen had sparked me once again. Brilliant narrator as well. Many men's voices make me fall asleep. Not the case here. Thank you for publishing.
