Publisher's Summary
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.

Dawn
I was concerned when I saw the negative feedbacks, which prompted my review. This was a delightful listen! So many books require us to pay too close attention to details--we find ourselves getting lost or not knowing key facts halfway thru the book. This is in typical Koontz fashion, an absolutely delightfully-told, well-structured story. Great characters, great story, great ending. I don't know what there could be to complain about!

Great Villian
This book is a great listen, the narrator does a lovely job of capturing the voice of each character.
The hero of the book is pleasent character and the villian is absolutly delicious, love to hate him, and hate to love him.

Good Listen
I was quite suprised at how well this book was put together. I love the narrator! I have listened to several books he has done and his voice is so soothing and interesting. It makes the book come alive for me, taking me to that place only a good book can. RELAXATION!!!
I was a bit perplexed at the ending. Definitly not what I had envisioned, but it was interesting! I think he left it open for a second in this series and if so, I will be buying it as well!
If you enjoy a good relaxing book, you can listen to while driving,cooking,sitting at the park or going on a long walk. This book is for you!!

This is one of the best suspense novels I've read in a long time. The narrator as usual is super and the pace, story and characters was great. The story keeps you interested throughout. If you're looking for a good book, you don't want to miss this one.

Not Bad but not Dean's Best
I've been reading Dean's novels since 1968. This is not one of my favorites, even though it has some really good moments and Dean's normal attention to detail that shows his research into the background of his characters. The main villain is similar to the DROTH villain, but with enough uniqueness to make him stand out. The protagonist is typical of Dean and likens to those in The Good Husband, DROTH, and Life Expectancy.
The female lead was interested although some of her background seemed torn from another of Dean's books.
Overall I liked the book and found the ending justified the body.

Very Good
I really liked this one. The story kept my attention, and the narrator was excellent. Koontz has his moments and this is one of them. My only negative comment was the ending and how it was wrapped up. Too much was built up for the main characters secret, which was a let down when it was disclosed. A definate air of preachiness and overly played patriotic presentation took away from an otherwise very well written story. Definately give this one a chance.

Good Guy=Great Book!
Koontz has done it again! The Good Guy is going to be a classic. You think Odd Thomas is a hit? The Good Guy is the next big thing. This is the only Koontz book I have read twice within a week, not to "get it" but because it is so good you can't put it down the first time through, and the second time you want to take it slow and easy.
Can't wait for a sequel if there's to be one, if there's not, what a mistake!
