•简·霍克——曾在《寂静的角落》和《低语的房间》中让读者眼花缭乱——在《纽约时报》第一畅销悬疑大师迪恩·昆茨的这部震撼人心的惊悚小说中,她面临着一场与一生威胁的生命之战。“我可能明天就死了。或者是比死更糟糕的事情。”简·霍克知道她可能活在借来的时间里。但只要她还活着,她就永远不会停止与威胁数百万人自由和自由意志的恐怖阴谋的单人战争。与奇怪的谋杀-自杀流行作斗争,简的丈夫,并在全国范围内不断升级,已经使流氓联邦调查局特工成为通缉逃犯,无情地追捕不仅政府和背后的秘密阴谋集团。简的敌人动用了他们邪恶的权力和技术指挥的所有资源,决心要让她死……或者让她希望自己是。简的无情的追求者无法阻止她瞄准她的猎物:一个狡猾的人与高层有关系,一个扭曲的灵魂无法形容的深度,有一支职业杀手的军队随时待命。在她正义的愤怒和对正义的坚定坚持的推动下,简将从南加州南部走到白雪覆盖的塔霍湖的山坡上,直面排列在她身上的致命力量。 But nothing can prepare her for the chilling truth that awaits when she descends the crooked staircase to the dark and dreadful place where her long nightmare was born. Don’t miss any of Dean Koontz’s gripping Jane Hawk thrillers: THE SILENT CORNER • THE WHISPERING ROOM • THE CROOKED STAIRCASE • THE FORBIDDEN DOOR • THE NIGHT WINDOW Praise for The Crooked Staircase “An absorbing thriller full of fresh touches . . . Writing his unusual heroine, Koontz keeps the pages alive with attitude as well as action. . . . For Hawk, who is as fearless as she is beautiful, no obstacle is too great, especially with the well-being of her hidden-away five-year-old son on her mind.”—Kirkus Reviews “Spellbinding . . . Beautifully plotted and written with notable care and flare . . . The Hawk series . . . is among [Koontz’s] best work.”—Booklist (starred review) “Unrelenting . . . [Jane] rivets readers’ attention. . . . Michael Crichton fans and thriller aficionados who appreciate a fierce female protagonist . . . should be urged to meet Jane Hawk.”—Library Journal
