Dragon Tears

By: Dean Koontz

Narrated by: Jay O. Sanders

Harry Lyon was a rational man, a cop who refused to let his job harden his soul. Then one fateful day, he was forced to shoot a man--and a homeless stranger with bloodshot eyes uttered the haunting words that challenged Harry Lyon's sanity:"Ticktock, ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn..."

Critic reviews

“A razor-sharp, nonstop, suspenseful story.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune

“A great story...the most ambitious of Dean Koontz’s books.”—Columbus Dispatch

“The take-a-deep-breath ending alone is worth the price of the ticket.”—People

“A great story, sympathetic characters, and enough suspense to keep the pages flying.”—Detroit News

More Praise for Dean Koontz

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”—The Seattle Times

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”—Associated Press

“In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”—Suspense Magazine

“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly

Another great read by a great author.

This is a non-stop page turner and keeps you guessing until the end. This book is a solid four for be because From the Corner of his Eye is just a hard book to top. Connie and Henry really deliver in Dragon Tears and is a thrilling ride all the way through.
