This novel is the second offering in the Jane Hawk series following "The Silent Corner". When the death of her husband was determined a suicide, Jane was sure that it was not. After placing her 5 year old son in hiding with friends, she embarks on a search for the truth. Jane is on the run from her former employer, the FBI, as she frees several children from mind controlling nanotechnology at the Iron Furnace school. Partnering with Sheriff Luther Tillman, Jane secures a hiding place for the children. In Sheriff Tillman's town, a popular elderly Minnesota teacher, Cora Gunderson created an act of terrorism by blowing up a hotel with her SUV filled with gasoline containers. Cora killed 42 people along with a congressman in the resulting inferno. The FBI starts to investigate the bizarre crime, but seemingly abandons it after only a short time. Sheriff Tillman finds Cora's diaries which send him to the Iron Furnace school where he teams up with Jane in time to help rescue a few of the children held against their will at the school.
I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it for fans of Dean Koontz. I am looking forward to the third installment in the series, The Crooked Staircase", in June 2018.
