Description

Benny is so nice they feel compelled to destroy him, but he has a friend who should scare the hell out of them in this breathtaking new kind of thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.

Benny Catspaws perpetually sunny disposition is tested when he loses his job, his reputation, his fiance, and his favorite chair. Hes not paranoid. Someone is out to get him. He just doesnt know who or why. Then Benny receives an inheritance from an uncle hes never heard of: a giant crate and a video message. All will be well in time.

How strangethough its a blessing, his uncle promises. Stranger yet is whats inside the crate. Hes a seven-foot-tall self-described bad weather friend named Spike whose mission is to help people who are just too good for this world. Spike will take care of it. Hell find Bennys enemies. Hell deal with them. This might be satisfying if Spike wasnt such a menacing presence with terrifying techniques of intimidation.

In the company of Spike and a fascinated young waitress-cum-PI-in-training named Harper, Benny plunges into a perilous high-speed adventure, the likes of which never would have crossed the mind of a decent guy like him.
