CITY, THE by Dean Koontz - SIGNED FIRST EDITION UK BOOKSee all titles by Dean Koontz.#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz is at the peak of his acclaimed powers with this major new novel.
The city changed my life and
showed me that the world is deeply mysterious. I need to tell you about
her and some terrible things and wonderful things and amazing things
that happened . . . and how I am still haunted by them. Including one
night when I died and woke and lived again.
Here is the riveting, soul-stirring story of Jonah Kirk, son of an
exceptional singer, grandson of a formidable “piano man,” a musical
prodigy beginning to explore his own gifts when he crosses a group of
extremely dangerous people, with shattering consequences. Set in a more
innocent time not so long ago, The City encompasses a lifetime
but unfolds over three extraordinary, heart-racing years of tribulation
and triumph, in which Jonah first grasps the electrifying power of music
and art, of enduring friendship, of everyday heroes.
The unforgettable saga of a young man coming of age within a remarkable
family, and a shimmering portrait of the world that shaped him, The City
is a novel that speaks to everyone, a dazzling realization of the
evergreen dreams we all share. Brilliantly illumined by magic dark and
light, it’s a place where enchantment and malice entwine, courage and
honor are found in the most unexpected quarters, and the way forward
lies buried deep inside the heart.

ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can
match.”—Los Angeles Times

fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular
fiction to explore the human condition.”—USA Today
