#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz is at the
peak of his acclaimed powers with this major new novel—a
rich, multi-layered story that moves back and forth across
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 in the city as a young boy, introducing his indomitable
grandfather, also 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
in which they live—and who will change the course of Jonah’s
life forever. Welcome to The City, a place of evergreen
dreams where enchantment and malice entwine, where courage
and honor are found in the most unexpected corners and the
way forward lies buried deep inside the heart.
