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 Catspaw`s perpetually sunny disposition is tested when he loses his job, his reputation, his fiancée, and his favorite chair. He`s not paranoid.
Someone is out to get him. He just doesn`t know who or why. Then Benny receives an inheritance from an uncle he`s never heard of: a giant crate and a video message.
All will be well in time. How strange though it`s a blessing, his uncle promises. Stranger yet is what`s inside the crate.
He`s 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. He`ll find Benny`s enemies.
He`ll deal with them. This might be satisfying if Spike wasn`t 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.
