Breathless
#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz delivers a
thrilling novel of suspense and adventure, as the lives of strangers
converge around a mystery unfolding high in the Colorado mountains — and
the balance of the world begins to tilt…
In the stillness of
a golden September afternoon, deep in the wilderness of the Rockies, a
solitary craftsman, Grady Adams, and his magnificent Irish wolfhound
Merlin step from shadow into light… and into an encounter with
enchantment. That night, through the trees, under the moon, a pair of
singular animals will watch Grady's isolated home, waiting to make
their approach.
A few miles away, Camillia Rivers, a local
veterinarian, begins to unravel the threads of a puzzle that will bring
all the forces of a government in peril to her door.
At a
nearby farm, long-estranged identical twins come together to begin a
descent into darkness… In Las Vegas, a specialist in chaos theory probes
the boundaries of the unknowable… On a Seattle golf course, two men make
matter-of-fact arrangements for murder… Along a highway by the sea, a
vagrant scarred by the past begins a trek toward his destiny…
In
a novel that is at once wholly of our time and timeless, fearless and
funny, Dean Koontz takes readers into the moment between one turn of
the world and the next, across the border between knowing and mystery.
It is a journey that will leave all who take it Breathless.
