The Night Window; A Bloody Business

The finale to Dean Koontz's Jane Hawk series did not disappoint. I don't want to spoil it, but suffice to say I'm glad Koontz isn't like Stephen King and doesn't need to kill off *every* likable character :)
Jane is still on the run, hiding out, trying to stay one step ahead of the Arcadians, but the noose is tightening. She's in danger, her friends are in danger, her son is in danger. It was very, very tense but I like how it ended, really the only way it could have. I enjoyed the whole series.

Dylan Struzan met Vincent Alo when he was an old man, retired in Florida, and spent hours listening to his stories about the mob and how their influence and power grew during Prohibition. He made her promise not to publish the stories until after he died, and she kept her promise. It was a fictionalized account of nonfiction. It was pretty good, but a bit long, it could have been shorter and still packed as much of a punch.
