"A Shot in the Dark" by Harris Coulter and Barbara Loe Fisher

A very interesting read...

Just finished The Atlantis Code by Charles Brokaw, I'd never heard of the bloke before I got this book, but its real page turner, well worth a read, if you like interwoven plots between paid mercenaries, a investigative journalist, a linguistic professor and the Catholic Church, all after the lost city of Atlantis

Watchers was the first one of Koontz books I ever read 20 years ago, have you noticed Restless how his style has changed over the years to more subtle horror rather than the out and out scary stuff, The Odd Thomas series was very good, have ordered Relentless, I actually collect his books, think I'm only missing one which is Funhouse

im not a collector myself. Actually I dont read much in the sense of sitting with a good book. I type for a living and to pass the day i listen to audiobooks and i have gone through a lot of dean's books that way. I have noticed that he seems to have relaxed a lot. I noticed a few early books have a government agaisnt us kinda feel to them. What i really like about dean is that he is always trying to teach us humility and the more he writes the more he seems to be putting that accross and even more so with the odd thomas books... I didnt like darkest evening of the year but thats the thing with dean he loves his dogs a lot
