The Husband

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "Koontz is America's No. 1 author of thrillers [and] The Husband is one of his finest novels."-The Denver Post

We have your wife. You get her back for two million cash. On an ordinary afternoon, an ordinary man, a gardener of modest means, gets a phone call out of his worst nightmare. The caller is dead serious. He doesn't care that Mitch can't raise that kind of money. If she's everything to you, then you'll find a way.

Mitch loves his wife more than life itself. He's got sixty hours to prove it. He has to find the two million by then. But he'll pay a lot more. He'll pay anything.

Praise for The Husband

"Breakneck speed and complexities . . . Koontz is a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller-and perhaps the leading American practitioner of the form."-The Star-Ledger

"A pulse-pounding thriller with echoes of Hitchcock."-Publishers Weekly

"[A] hair-raising thriller . . . Nothing should be given away about this sinuous nail-biter's developments . . . all help ratchet up the suspense."-Booklist (starred review)
