The Good Guy

From: $1.99

Timothy Carrier, having a beer after work at his friend’s tavern, enjoys drawing eccentric customers into amusing conversations. But the jittery man who sits next to him tonight has mistaken Tim for someone very different—and passes to him a manila envelope full of cash.
“Ten thousand now. You get the rest when she’s gone.
The stranger walks out, leaving a photo of the pretty woman marked for death, and her address. But things are about to get worse. In minutes another stranger sits next to Tim. This one is a cold-blooded killer who believes Tim is the man who has hired him.
Thinking fast, Tim says, “I’ve had a change of heart. You get ten thousand—for doing nothing. Call it a no-kill fee.” He keeps the photo and gives the money to the hired killer. And when Tim secretly follows the man out of the tavern, he gets a further shock: the hired killer is a cop.
Suddenly, Tim Carrier, an ordinary guy, is at the center of a mystery of extraordinary proportions, the one man who can save an innocent life and stop a killer far more powerful than any cop…and as relentless as evil incarnate. But first Tim must discover within himself the capacity for selflessness, endurance, and courage that can turn even an ordinary man into a hero, inner resources that will transform his idea of who he is and what it takes to be The Good Guy.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 27, 2008 Type: User Review Blah

There was nothing particularly good or bad about this book. It moved along pretty well, but the story seemed too contrived. It felt like he pulled several things from the headlines and tried to put them together. They just didn't work. I have...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 21, 2008 Type: User Review I Like

I felt Dean Koontz had fell off a bit after reading some of his more recent books. I hated "Intensity" and was not thrilled by "False Memory." But this book took me back to the Dean Koontz I remembered. Well wrtten with an interesting story line....

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 17, 2008 Type: User Review The Good Guy - my opinion

I have always enjoyed Dean Koontz's novels. Sure, it could be argued that many of his books involve similar characters in similar situations, and also that some of his endings are weak. But I am prepared to trade that off for believable...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 16, 2008 Type: User Review A Different View of the Good Guy

Even though I do not consider myself a true Dean Koontz fan, in my opinion The Good Guy is one of his best - simple and effective.

Like many other Koontz's books, The Good Guy is mostly made of short sentences and dialogue. That makes...
