Dean R. Koontz - Dark Rivers of the Heart: A Novel

Spencer Grant and Valerie Keene meet in a bar. Valerie is being hunted by a clandestine intelligence agency for the valuable information she possesses. The people determined to hunt her down think Spencer is a fellow member of a new resistance movement. The man heading the chase is a man of uncommon cruelty--and technological resources.

Do you dare step through the red door?Spencer Grant had no idea what drew him to the bar with the red door. He thought he would just sit down, have a slow beer or two, and talk to a stranger. He couldn't know that it would lead to a narrow escape from a bungalow targeted by a SWAT team. Or that it would leave him a wanted man. Now he is on the run from mysterious and ruthless men. He is in love with a woman he knows next to nothing about. And he is hiding from a past he can't fully remember. On his trail is a shadowy security agency that answers to no one--including the U.S. government-and a man who considers himself a compassionate Angel of Death. But worst of all, Spencer Grant is on a collision course with inner demons he thought he'd buried years ago-inner demons that could destroy him if his enemies don't first.
