Book description
A fast-paced and emotionally devastating suspense novel from the
bestselling author of Velocity,The Husband and The Good Guy
Amy Redwing recklessly risks everything in her chosen field of dog
rescue. When she confronts a violent drunk in order to rescue Nickie, a
beautiful golden retriever, Amy has no misgivings. Dogs always do their
best, and so will she. Whatever it takes.
Riding shotgun nervously is her friend and lover, Brian, an architect
who would marry her if only she were not so committed to these crazy …
heroics! He blames her work for her refusal to marry him. But everything
is due to change in the Redwing household.
Someone is trying to destroy Amy. Subtle intrusions escalate into
terrifying assaults on everything she holds dear. Amy believes her
attacker is Wes Greeley, just released after an eighteen-month stretch,
thanks to Amy's testimony, for egregious animal cruelty. But if Greeley
is the culprit, it's clear he's not working alone.
At last Amy understands her need of Brian, and a lot more from her
troubled past that has been hidden by her passion. Unable to turn to any
authority, Amy and Brian are pressed to the edge of a precipice as
Koontz's most emotionally devastating thriller races with inexorable
speed to a wrenching climax.
