Description
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.

“The best installment in the series since the first . . . [Koontz] revs it up with entertaining encounters and offbeat humor.”—Kirkus Reviews

The Whispering Room
3By Natasha (author)This series is way too convoluted. Too many characters, too hard to keep them straight & too much time with the dictionary! Dean Koontz used to be one of my favorites, but he’s gotten carried away.Exciting Series
5By Joleen AnnJust the right amount of action to keep you motivated to keep turning the pages and reading the next book in the seriesBest series I’ve ever read!
5By JulsmaloneI was captured by chapter 2 in the 1st book in the series, and they only got better and more intriguing. The last one, “The Night Window” was a heart pounding finale. This is, by far, the best series I have ever read!Worth all the paranoia!!!!
5By elis.yenaAbsolutely perfect ending book to such an intense and thrilling series!!!! The levels of research in this series is INSANE! This series is definitely one of my favorites by far and I recommend it to anyone who’s okay with double checking their door locks for the next couple of months!!!!!! FLAWLESS!!!!!The Night Widow
5By mommajeannieCouldn’t put I down. Great book!Loved These books
5By SRVLVRJane Hawk is hands down my favorite heroine! Thank you Dean Koontz!!!Overly long series
2By wlinderThis 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 . . .Two Thumbs Up!
5By Gregory 0720Very hard series to put down. Action-packed and suspenseful from beginning to end.If anything like the other will be rubbish
1By Matt1859Author uses 1000 pages to tell a 250 page story. Worst book ever readIncredible
5By Skeeter anOutstanding... just outstanding!! Enough saidJane Hawk series
5By stephen C. KGreat book, great series with Jane Hawk. Dean Koontz is the master for sure! Can’t wait for next book or series!Wow!
5By suzyp91Loved this ending! Thrills and chills!Great Finale to wonderful series - BUT
5By MarkWhiteLotusGreat book, non-stop action. Nice to read a true finale that concludes the story. BUT... Koontz writes some twisted, sick characters. He truly dives deep into sociopathy and mental illness. If you are depressed or anxious I would not recommend this book. It is NOT going to make you feel better, in fact it may trigger you to feel worse. Same advice to younger readers. Great book but adults only.Super Finale!
5By Kelsie M.The Night Window by Dean Koontz is the fifth and final installment in his Jane Hawk series. This is a series finale, but it still reads well as a standalone, though the series is best read in sequence. Jane Hawk, a former FBI agent, gone rogue after her husband Nick’s suspicious suicide has researched and found an increase in suicide among unlikely candidates. Her discoveries have led her to seek and destroy members of a cabal bent on world domination. In an bid to thwart her efforts, Jane has been indicted for espionage, treason and murder. She is now the hunter and the hunted. This final installment pits her directly against evil and brings her some new allies. This is a fast-paced thriller that’s too good to put down. The story is engaging on every level. Koontz ended this series the way it began: with a bang! The Night Window rates 5 out of 5 stars. This entire series is a must-read! My thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.Awesome fast paced read
5By ledossWow! An amazing, twisted read. Loved this last Jane Hawk novel. The web of deceit spins out across the country, including congress, alphabet agency’s and down. The conclusion is not an easy one and leaves us with a few of the “bad” guys still in circulation. This is a fast paced story, keeping the reader on edge until the very end. An excellent read, do not miss this one.
