"I very much need to be dead."

These are the chilling words left behind by a man who had everything to live for - but took his own life. 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.

Critic reviews

"Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler." ( The Times)
"Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying." ( The New York Times)

I thought this was going to be a self contained story. It continues unfortunately. I was hoping for a series of police procedurals where each book covers a particular case.
The story is ok not Koontz's best. A lot of cliche. The narrator was good. If there is only one more book to finish this story line I'll listen otherwise I'll leave well enough alone.

Not an other series without end!

The reader sounds tired, dispirited without any energy, not as I imagine Jane Hawk. some more words required

I stumble first on book 3 and now went back to the begging so I could read the story unfold in the correct sequence. A great novel of a dystopian world well told. More of a straight forward piece of fiction from Koontz but an enjoyable read.

start here......

I have always loved Dean Koontz writing, edgy, thrilling and sometimes with that 'kapow' moral edge. This one was another wow and like some of the other audible books I have of his I keep returning and listening to them again!

Wowed once more

Start this only if you are ready for a 5 book marathon. None of the books has any conclusion so if you are like me, you have to get all 5 in order to find out what happens. I love Dean Koontz and have just started book 4. This series could have been a book or 2 shorter, but I am enjoying it so far. You could probably skip a few books in the middle and still be able to follow the story. The narration is excellent!

5 book long series

Quite an anti climax for such and intriguing start. Hoped for a stronger finish and slightly more resistance from the bad guys. I seemed all so easy at the end

Great start with a mediocre finish

without spoilers, the ending of the book hinges on a coincidence that weakens the story, and seems to serve only as a mouthpiece for some out of place political posturing.

Anti-climactic ending, repetitive throughout

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Long winded and weak plot. Very disappointing
Would not recommend this audio book at all

Boring
