The Crooked Staircase

A Jane Hawk Novel (Jane Hawk, Book 3)

De: Dean Koontz

Narrado por: Elisabeth Rodgers

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jane Hawk - who dazzled readers in The Silent Corner and The Whispering Room - faces the fight of her life, against the threat of a lifetime, in this electrifying thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling suspense master Dean Koontz.

“I could be dead tomorrow. Or something worse than dead.”

Jane Hawk knows she may be living on borrowed time. 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.

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. Propelled by her righteous fury and implacable insistence on justice, Jane will make her way from southern 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.

Love Koontz

So ready for the next book none can write like Mr. Koontz. The narrator was great.

excellent read

What an extraordinary series! I am itching for the 3rd book! Gripping and a good pace, leave a you on the edge of your seat!

blown away

As usual he managed to keep me guessing to the end. I can't wait for the next one!

I want more!

Best series I have listened to in years. Great story line and excellent narrator! I usually listen to Audible when I go to sleep since many stories are kind of boring or have a bad narrator. This series was so good I had a hard time falling asleep. Elisabeth Rodgers as the narrator is one of the best I have listened to. Thanks!

Great new Jane Hawk book

A good continuation on Koontz best series since Odd Thomas. Fast paced and action packed

Left hanging...very high...☹️

Great narration, very engaging story, but I don’t appreciate being left hanging about a hundred feet in the air...I get it’s a series, but a small amount of resolution would be nice.

Great book but...

I love the Jane Hawk series I just hate having to wait for the next book to find out what happened only to have that book do the same thing.
I love Dean Koontz but I think I’m only going to read his series books until they are at least 5 years old so I don’t have to wait.

They just keep getting better!

I've been a fan for 30 years and I swear, this is his best suspenseful novel yet. Phrases such as "taut and gripping" do little to describe the tension he builds in this one. It was so harrowing, I felt unsettled for a good portion of it. For, underneath any self assurances that it's all fiction is the dread that this plot line WILL happen. We just don't know when.

Love this series but ..

would really like to not hear Soo many redundant words. Good reader , good movement , but ..

Get Ready for More Adventure!

I was swept away again into Jane's world, which seems more and more like our own. She is taking on a governmental Cabal. I wait breathlessly for the next installment!
