When Tim Carrier is mistaken for a hitman for hire, he decides to seek out the subject of the hit and warn her of her impending murder. When he meets the subject of the hit, Linda Paqette, she claims to have no idea who would want her dead, so Tim decides to help her set out on the run, but the hitman whose job it was to kill her has figured out the mix up and is hot on both their trails with murder on his mind.

It's nice to read a novel that looks at things from the perspective of both the good guy and the bad. Tim Carrier isn't the most interesting of characters - I think Koontz may have planned this on purpose - and he feels like too much of a goody-goody at times, but it's Krait that makes the story, with his unorthodox approach to rectifying government mess ups and his thirst for murder and revenge. Worth checking out if you enjoy James Patterson's Alex Cross stories.
