The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz-An Audiobook Review
A modernized Manchurian Candidate tale with a terrifying twist
FBI agent Jane Hawk is on leave after her US Marine husband’s suicide. She’s armed and angry, yet calm while moving with surgical precision to expose the sinister disease attacking the unsuspecting and innocent.
Her husband, Nick, was a rising star in Corp, already a full colonel at 32, and poised for stars on his shoulder boards. Without any signs of PTSD, combat fatigue, or mental health issues, on a perfectly normal day, he steps into the bathroom and cuts his throat.
Seeking some believable explanation, Hawk dives into the deep end and soon finds an alarming fact: suicides are on the increase. There are no fluctuations in the stats, no peaks and valleys; it’s a straight-line ascent.
With a background in the FBI’s heralded BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit), Hawk examines the deaths as she would a serial killer case.
