Sole Survivor Koontz Dean R

A 747 crashes in Colorado. Three hundred and thirty people dead. One impossible survivor: a seven-year-old girl who walked away without a scratch. Joe Carpenter, an ex-crime reporter hollowed out by grief after losing his own wife and daughters on that same flight, can't let it go. When he starts digging, he finds something worse than mechanical failure — a conspiracy reaching into black-ops science, human experimentation, and forces that will kill to keep their secrets buried. Koontz leans hard into paranoia thriller territory here, with chase sequences that don't let up and a protagonist who has nothing left to lose. The science veers speculative, the stakes escalate fast, and the suspense is relentless. For readers who like their thrillers with a supernatural edge and a body count. If you burned through *The Stand* or *Cell*, this hits the same nerve.
