She realizes she has enough intel to expose the evil intentions of the Techno Arcadians, but she still needs more. The Whispering Room picks right up where we last saw Jane in The Silent Corner. The Whispering Room is a page turning, action packed, edge of your seat, crime fiction story with a realistic and plausible science fiction twist. I was pleasantly surprised and I found a new heroine to add to my list of favorites. When I finally read the synopsis, I was intrigued and bought the book. I was curious when The Silent Corner (book one in the Jane Hawk series) by Dean Koontz kept popping up in my searches for new crime fiction reads. I see a book, the name of the author and automatically associate that author with a certain genre and move on to another book. I try not to make assumptions when looking for my newest crime fiction read but I do. Those she is hunting will have nowhere to run when her shadow falls across them.Īssumptions can be a detriment to a bibliophile. 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.ĭriven 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. 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. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane.

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.
