Dean Koontz
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This ebook edition contains a special preview of Dean Koontz’s The Silent Corner.Past midnight, Chyna Shepard, twenty-six, gazes out a moonlit window, unable to sleep on her first night in the Napa Valley home of her best friend’s family. Instinct proves reliable. A murderous sociopath, Edgler Foreman Vess, has entered the house, intent on killing everyone inside. A self-proclaimed “homicidal adventurer,” Vess lives only to satisfy all appetites as they arise, to immerse himself in sensation, to live without fear, remorse, or limits, to live with intensity. Chyna is trapped in his deadly orbit. Chyna is a survivor, toughened by a lifelong struggle for safety and self-respect. Now she will be tested as never before. At first her sole aim is to get out alive—until, by chance, she learns the identity of Vess’s next intended victim, a faraway innocent only she can save. Driven by a newly discovered thirst for meaning beyond mere self-preservation, Chyna musters every inner resource she has to save an endangered girl . . . as moment by moment, the terrifying threat of Edgler Foreman Vess intensifies.

"I loved this book. The title fits perfectly because the story never seemed to calm down. I didn't want to stop reading. Both the protagonist and antagonist were likable which I find rare. Definitely a memorable book that will get your blood pumping. "

"I loved this book it picked up pretty quick from the start. I however couldn’t STAND the amount of detail the author adds in.. there were paragraphs of detail that felt almost repetitive. Other than that I loved the plot I still have memory flashes of how I imagined the gas station scene 🥴"

Rebecca Withers
"The beginning was very captivating, and it had a phenomenal antagonist; very intense. Though, it got quite slow and I could not hold my attention in the long paragraphs of extra detail when so much was going on. 4/5★"

""Chyna Shepherd untouched and alive." Wow! What a crazy and scary book. The stamina and strength of Chyna is incredible. There were parts of this book that made me feel so dreary and dark and then I was filled with the dread of claustrophobia and then with the elation of winning and being let down.....It was definately a rollercoaster ride and I loved every minute of it!<br/><br/>"
