The Good Guy

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: Jun 23, 2008 Type: User Review LOOK OUT! HE'S BACK AND MAD AS HELL!

Everyone including me has been waiting for Dean to get back to what he does best: thrillers that are long chase scenes. Well, he's back in form, amen!
I don't think he has hit the bull's eye since Intensity with this kind of suspense and a...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 22, 2008 Type: User Review Not so good

It's a quick enough read, but the reasons for the murder-for-hire turn out to be so ridiculously over the top, I ended up laughing out loud at Dean Koontz's novel. This was the first book I read by this author (whose popularity baffles me) and it...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 22, 2008 Type: User Review Lots of spooks, but no ghosts, and GR8!

I have read most of Koontz' books, liked "The Husband," but this one beats it. No supernatural stuff, just a plain old thriller that really is funny, intriguing and a fast read. The underlying spook-FBI conspiracy premise may not be new, but......

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 01, 2008 Type: User Review page turner

Good page turner. I bought this for a plane trip and it made the time fly by (no pun intended). I thought the ending was a bit weak/implausible but that didn't detract much from my enjoyment of the book.

From: Amazon Posted: May 29, 2008 Type: User Review Rip-roaring read

Though technically not a horror novel, nor Koontz's strongest effort, The Good Guy, nevertheless, doesn't disappoint, primarily in its ability to create a sense of looming danger that doesn't lag in its for even one moment and it's all delivered...
