New Psychological Thriller

Not everyone
who smiles
is a friend.

He's been part of the family for years, at every dinner and every birthday, the guy everyone likes without ever really asking why. In The Friend of the Family, Dean Koontz asks a simple, unsettling question: what if the person closest to you is exactly the one you never thought to fear?

"Nobody sustains dread quite like Koontz."

What it's about

When the threat comes from inside

Koontz has always been good at taking something ordinary, a house, a street, a face you trust, and quietly turning it into the last place you feel safe. The Friend of the Family is no different. At its center is a family, and a man who has been close to them for so long that no one ever stopped to ask what he actually wants.

"Some doors you open yourself, and only later realize what you let in."

If you like your thrillers slow-burning and psychological rather than jump-scare loud, this is built for you. It's the kind of book you start on a Sunday afternoon and finish well after you meant to put it down.
