BOOK: The Whispering Room

Sunday, July 29, 2018



A new series that Dean Koontz started in 2017 about an FBI agent named Jane Hawk, who stumbled on a terrible conspiracy when her husband committed suicide.   The only thing, he was a happy, normal person who had no reason or motive for committing suicide.  As any good FBI agent would suspect, she thinks her husband was killed, and the suicide was just a cover.  Now she finds a school teacher who committed suicide under very similar circumstances. 

I meant to buy the FIRST book in this new series, but when I got it home, I found out it was the second book of the series!   Oh well, an easy mistake to correct.

About the book:

“No time to delay. Do what you were born to do. Fame will be yours when you do this.”

These are the words that ring in the mind of mild-mannered, beloved schoolteacher Cora Gundersun—just before she takes her own life, and many others’, in a shocking act of carnage. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane. But Jane Hawk knows better.

In the wake of her husband’s inexplicable suicide—and the equally mysterious deaths of scores of other exemplary individuals—Jane picks up the trail of a secret cabal of powerful players who think themselves above the law and beyond punishment. But the ruthless people bent on hijacking America’s future for their own monstrous ends never banked on a highly trained FBI agent willing to go rogue—and become the nation’s most wanted fugitive—in order to derail their insidious plans to gain absolute power with a terrifying technological breakthrough.

Driven by love for her lost husband and by fear for the five-year-old son she has sent into hiding, Jane Hawk has become an unstoppable predator. Those she is hunting will have nowhere to run when her shadow falls across them.

Conspiracy theory thrillers can be fun!
