About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
When this relentless rogue FBI agent comes knocking, her adversaries will have to answer - with their lives - in this thrilling Jane Hawk novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Corner.
“Koontz continues the incredible saga of the robust character of Jane Hawk, and it’s as terrific as the others in the series.” - Associated Press
“We’re rewriting the play, and the play is this country, the world, the future. We break Jane’s heart, we’ll also break her will.”
She was one of the FBI’s top agents until she became the nation’s most-wanted fugitive. Now Jane Hawk may be all that stands between a free nation and its enslavement by a powerful secret society’s terrifying mind-control technology. She couldn’t save her husband, or the others whose lives have been destroyed, but equipped with superior tactical and survival skills - and the fury born of a broken heart and a hunger for justice - Jane has struck major blows against the insidious cabal.
But Jane’s enemies are about to hit back hard. If their best operatives can’t outrun her, they mean to bring her running to them, using her five-year-old son as bait. Jane knows there’s no underestimating their capabilities, but she must battle her way back across the country to the remote shelter where her boy is safely hidden...for now. As she moves resolutely forward, new threats begin to emerge: a growing number of brain-altered victims driven hopelessly, violently insane. With the madness spreading like a virus, the war between Jane and her enemies will become a fight for all their lives - against the lethal terror unleashed from behind the forbidden door.

THE SILENT CORNER • THE WHISPERING ROOM • THE CROOKED STAIRCASE • THE FORBIDDEN DOOR • THE NIGHT WINDOW

It's 1942, and as far as her father knows, Evelyn Bishop, heiress to an aeronautics fortune, is working as a translator in London. In truth, Evelyn—daring, beautiful, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages—has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another, she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher, growing ever close to him until the war's end brings with it an act of deep betrayal.

Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting. The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility.

Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

Manheim’s security chief, ex-cop Ethan Truman, is used to looking beneath the surface of things. But until he entered the orbit of a Hollywood icon, he had no idea just how slippery reality could be. Now this good man is all that stands in the way of an insidious killer—and forces that eclipse the most fevered fantasies of a city where dreams and nightmares are the stuff of daily life.

Exciting to say the least
There is nothing I dislike about this story. Jane Hawke is a great character and I don't usually like reading stories where the hero is a woman but in this case she is my heroine.
Elizabeth Rodgers, the narrator is truly amazing, she performs all characters so well you'd think there were a bunch of narrators. I could listen to her all day her voice is smooth and silky and very sexy and this is coming from a gay man. Her make voices are more than believable they are down right real.
Dean Koontz has written anither Jane Hawke novel and I dread the day it comes to a close, but I hope they never do. I hope she stops running from the bad guys as I think it's taking a toll on her character but it's taking a toll on me as well, I worry that the ending is going to be a tragedy 😂 but hope not.
If you are an avid listener, you have to listen to this whole series it is a fresh, brilliantly written story with lots of twists and turns.

I am a Dean Koontz fan and Jane Hawk book 4 does not disappoint. If you like a series and you want to see your characters build listen not only this book by the remainder of the series.
Great combination of action suspense and humanism.

Brilliant addition to the series but not a stand-alone book
As I have come to expect, this has been a thrilling ride in the Jane Hawk roller coaster run. As can be expected by now as well, this is a chapter in the series that started immediately after the close of the previous instalment, and closed with an opening for the next book in the series. I can’t wait to pick up the next book!!!

Loony’s ratchets in the tension
There were times when I almost dreaded to come back to this book. Though it is Jane Hawk’s story, a large percentage of the narrative is spent experiencing the viewpoints of some very unpleasant people. While most of them seem to end up getting what they deserve, it seems odd how many of the Arcadian bad guys are themselves very disturbed individuals. The passages with Jane’s son and his very odd caregiver are a welcome relief from the darkness in the minds of some of these other people. Finally, it is quite amazing how much has happened in the story in just a few months.
