The Face of Fear by Dean R Koontz

Graham Harris, psychic and one time climber, witnesses in absentium the brutal murder of exotic dancer Edna Mowry by the Butcher, a serial killer rapidly reducing the citizens of New York City to a state of terror, but in doing so he sets the Butcher on his own tail.  A good pursuit story that ends a little improbably but entertaingly in Harris and his girlfriend abseiling down the outside of an office building from the fortieth floor.

Relentless by Dean R. Koontz

A new Koontz book is always a joy to me, as his books have been my comfort and constant companion since I was a child, and although the moral undertones and endless capacity for optimism that good things will in time come to good people feels at times naive, I am a committed fan.

When Cubby Greenwich receives a scathing review of his book by the feared critic Shearman Waxx he is inclined to do as his beautiful loving wife and tiny Einstein son advise and let it go, but then curiosity gets the better of him and a chance encounter with the critic in the toilet of his local favourite restaurant swiftly turns into something more sinister. Gripping and uplifting.
