The city
(Large Print)
Description
Dean Koontz is at the peak of his powers with this major new novel. A rich, multi-layered story that crisscrosses decades and generations as a gifted musician relates the "terrible and wonderful" events that began in his city in 1967, when he was ten. There are millions of stories in the city, some magical, some tragic, others terror-filled or triumphant. Jonah Kirk's story is all of those things as he draws readers into his life as a young boy, introducing his indomitable grandfather, a "piano man"; his single mother, a struggling singer; and the heroes, villains, and everyday saints and sinners who make up the fabric of the metropolis and who will change the course of Jonah's life forever.
