The City is a novel by Dean Koontz and is a different approach that we who are fans of this author are used to. Some may have felt it was slow and spent their time thinking about how different it was. It did take some time to get into but it was a story that pulled you in more and more as your read.

It is the story of Jonah Kirk, son of an exceptional singer and grandson of an great “piano man” and on his own way to becoming a “piano man”. We meet Jonah at 8 years old and follow him closely as he grows up. Years later in his fifties he writes us the story and says:

“The city change 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.
