While in New York (oh, did I mention I went to New York for a few days? I did.) I was in need of a book. When Sonya caught me reading the back of a Band-Aid box, she said, "Let's go. We need to find you some reading material." Off we went to the Wal-greens to find a paperback and the result was Dean Koontz's Velocity. In truth, it just seemed like the best best of what they had.
I was pleasantly surprised, then, at how engaging I found it. In a nutshell, Billy Wiles, unassuming bartender, finds himself at the whim of a killer after he finds a note on his car windshield.
If you don't take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher somewhere in Napa County.
If you do take this note to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work.
You have six hours to decide. The choice is yours.
Quickly paced, it kept me turning the pages and interested to the end. Having never read anything by Koontz (that I can recall, anyway), I was relieved that my wee-hours-of-the-morning purchase proved fruitful.
