The Husband by Dean Koontz

41id7-D86JL__SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_

 

What would you do to get your wife back? Would you die for her? Would you kill for her?

Mitch Rafferty is faced with those very questions when his wife is kidnapped and the ransom  is $2 million. Only problem…Mitch is a gardener with very little money or assets.

Once again Dean Koontz has come up with an everyday character and placed him in an improbable situation. What follows is a thrill ride that you’ve been yanked into and can’t escape until it reaches the end. Dean Koontz has quickly become one of my favorite authors for this very reason.
