Descripción editorial
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jane Hawk’s one-woman war comes to an explosive climax as the rogue FBI agent gambles everything against a terrifying conspiracy, for vengeance, for justice, and for humanity’s freedom—from the author of The Silent Corner.
“Jane Hawk is arguably the best character Koontz has created. . . . Simply put, wow.”—Associated Press
A visionary young filmmaker hunted for sport across a vast Colorado ranch by the celebrated billionaire at the heart of a monstrous cabal . . .
A brilliant computer hacker slipping through top-secret databases a whisper ahead of security trackers, gathering the facts to fight the all-powerful perpetrators of mass murder . . .
A pair of brutal operators, methodically shadowing their targets with every cutting-edge tool in the arsenal of today’s surveillance state . . .
A sequence of quiet heroes—everyday citizens—stepping up, stepping forward, intent on countering the advancing darkness . . .
A Vegas mob boss teamed with a homicidal sociopath, circling a beloved boy and his protectors, aiming to secure him as leverage against his fugitive mother . . .
And that fugitive mother herself, ex-agent Jane Hawk, closing in on the malevolent architects of ruin she has stalked as they stalk her, prepared to sacrifice herself to finally bring them down.
These are the people and circumstances of The Night Window, the thrilling new novel in Dean Koontz’s acclaimed Jane Hawk series. Replete—and then some—with the ingenious twists, the spellbinding action, the resonant themes, the sheer heart that have characterized Jane’s journey from the start, The Night Window follows its extraordinary heroine to her long-sought objective, in a stunning, unforgettable finale.
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
“The spectacular finale to Jane’s story . . . will hit series fans with all the impact of a carefully calibrated hammer blow.”—Booklist (starred review)
“The best installment in the series since the first . . . [Koontz] revs it up with entertaining encounters and offbeat humor.”—Kirkus Reviews

Exciting Series
Just the right amount of action to keep you motivated to keep turning the pages and reading the next book in the series
Overly long series
This series could have been one book - maybe two at the most. Instead of character development, we get essentially the same characters, just with different names. My gosh, I thought I was reading Heinlein at times! Look, we get it. The Techno Arcadians are bad. Depraved. Uncaring of “The rabble.” Did you really need a set of the same exact dysfunctional characters per book? And that’s just the villains. The “good guys/girls” were equally trope-y.
Yes, I did buy every book and read each one as well (except where I skipped overly-long descriptions of a car. Or a watch. Or clothing. Or . . .). Why? Inertia, I guess. It’s not that I cared about the characters, I guess I just wanted to finish.
I’ve read almost everything Dean Koontz has written. As an author, he’s great. But this series seems to me an attempt to just grab money by stuffing it so full of fluff to justify multiple volumes. It could have and should have been condensed. A lot.
Oh - and I never want to hear the word “bespoke” again . . .
If anything like the other will be rubbish
Author uses 1000 pages to tell a 250 page story. Worst book ever read
