But as long as she's breathing, she'll never cease her one-woman war against the terrifying conspiracy that threatens the freedom -- and free will -- of millions. Battling the strange epidemic of murder-suicides that claimed Jane's husband, and is escalating across the country, has made the rogue FBI agent a wanted fugitive, relentlessly hunted not only by the government but by the secret cabal behind the plot. Deploying every resource their malign nexus of power and technology commands, Jane's enemies are determined to see her dead, or make her wish she was. But Jane's ruthless pursuers can't stop her from drawing a bead on her prey: a cunning man with connections in high places, a twisted soul of unspeakable depths with an army of professional killers on call. Jane will make her way from Southern California to the snow-swept slopes of Lake Tahoe to confront head-on the lethal forces arrayed against her. 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. 000844775 60010 $$aHawk, Jane$$c(Fictitious character)$$vFiction. 000844775 650_0 $$aGovernment investigators$$vFiction. 000844775 650_0 $$aSecret societies$$vFiction. 000844775 650_0 $$aConspiracies$$vFiction. 000844775 650_0 $$aFugitives from justice$$vFiction. 000844775 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcgft 000844775 655_7 $$aThrillers (Fiction)$$2lcgft 000844775 655_7 $$aAction and adventure fiction.$$2lcgft 000844775 655_7 $$aDetective and mystery fiction.$$2lcgft 000844775 8001_ $$aKoontz, Dean R.$$q(Dean Ray),$$d1945-$$tJane Hawk novel. 000844775 85280 $$bpopam$$hKoontz 000844775 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844775$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844775 980__ $$aBIB 000844775 980__ $$aBOOK
