About this product

Product Information

Timothy Carrier, having a beer after work at his friend's tavern, enjoys drawing eccentric customers into amusing conversations. But the jittery man who sits next to him tonight has mistaken Tim for someone very different-and passes to him a manila envelope full of cash. "Ten thousand now. You get the rest when she's gone. " The stranger walks out, leaving a photo of the pretty woman marked for death, and her address. But things are about to get worse. In minutes another stranger sits next to Tim. This one is a cold-blooded killer who believes Tim is the man who has hired him. Thinking fast, Tim says, "I've had a change of heart. You get ten thousand-for doing nothing. Call it a no-kill fee." He keeps the photo and gives the money to the hired killer. And when Tim secretly follows the man out of the tavern, he gets a further shock: the hired killer is a cop. Suddenly, Tim Carrier, an ordinary guy, is at the center of a mystery of extraordinary proportions, the one man who can save an innocent life and stop a killer far more powerful than any copâ€¦and as relentless as evil incarnate. But first Tim must discover within himself the capacity for selflessness, endurance, and courage that can turn even an ordinary man into a hero, inner resources that will transform his idea of who he is and what it takes to be The Good Guy.

Not Koontz's best book
I am a big fan of Dean Koontz. He is a terrific writer, but this is not his best book. The character development and dialogue is very good, the story is fast paced and suspenseful, but the book comes to a rather abrupt end after the denouement. I was left feeling unsatisfied. It would not surprise me to learn that this was a manuscript that Koontz dug out of a closet, updated, and sent to his publisher to meet a publication deadline. I can only give The Good Guy 3 stars. The plot line is one that Koontz has used successfully many times before. An ordinary guy comes to the aid of an attractive woman who he must protect from unspeakable evil. The two of them become a good team, overcome their adversary, decide they like each other, etc. etc. The book is sprinkled with fun Koontz ... I am a big fan of Dean Koontz.

The two of them become a good team, overcome their adversary, decide they like each other, etc. etc. The book is sprinkled with fun Koontz prose: “Under a charcoal sky lay a soot-black sea. Like gray smoke, the froth on the low waves drifted ashore, dissipating on an ashen beach.” Unfortunately, the endearing 4 legged (dog) character found in all of Koontz’s books only makes a cameo appearance in this one. Additionally, the villain in this piece failed to creep me out. The bad guy was definitely bad. I certainly didn’t like him, but he did not give me the chills that many of Koontz’s other antagonists have. Buy this one only if you already like Koontz. Don’t make it the first Koontz book you read... I recommend Watchers for your maiden voyage.

Koontz is streching his legs into other genre
This isn't what you would normally expect from Mr Sci Fi Koontz..it's more like the detective crime novels of years gone by. The hit man is extremely well written and there is a lot of what I thought was unreal banter between most of the characters but it kept me reading. Most aspects of the book are left to be revealed at the very end which really keeps you guessing throughout. I also liked that each character evolved through the book. The whole backround wasn't blurted at the introduction but slowly we come to know and understand them. I would tell a friend to read it.This isn't what you would normally expect from Mr Sci Fi Koontz..it's more like the detective crime novels of years gone by.

A Really Really Good Guy
I enjoy Dean Koontz the most when he writes about average people like Tim and Linda. I'm not a huge fan for his scary, supernatural stuff, so this book was great! I purchased it on CD, and since the only CD player I own is in my car, I found myself driving all over town because I had to find out what happened next. Mr Koonz has a wonderful way with prose and I am always able to easily visualize the entire story when I am reading or listening to his books. If you enjoy this book, I would also recommend "The Husband." I also enjoyed all the Odd Thomas books and look forward to more. I do reccomend this book and hope you enjoy it.I enjoy Dean Koontz the most when he writes about average people like Tim and Linda.

The Good Guy by Dean Koontz, EXCELLENT READ
Koontz does it again with a fast paced, hard to put down book. The story is standard Koontz, an average guy goes above and beyond to keep a woman from being killed by a hired assassin when he is mistaken for the killer for hire. Tim Carrier is an ordinary guy that can't ignore the proposed hit on Linda Paquette an unknown to him woman who is on the hit he has been mistakenly asked to kill. They then try to stay ahead of the real killer, who is relentless and skilled at his trade. This is a hard to put down book that will take you for a thrill ride of a story.Koontz does it again with a fast paced, hard to put down book.

Listened to it on Audiobook and liked it alot!
I have just started reading Koontz after I purchased the "Chris Snow" series. I am not particularly fond of his "horror" genre, but I do like his stories of ordinary folks and really enjoyed this book. It is somewhat predictable, but it has likeable, believable characters/heroes, enough action and a happy ending..which I prefer. Not prize winning but very entertaining, which is something I also like.I have just started reading Koontz after I purchased the "Chris Snow" series.
