This is the most complex of Koont's books I have read of his so far. A lot of the chase sequence could have been avoided, but overall, we get to know the duality of the protagonists (who do not think they are "good,") and the antagonists (who think they are perfect in compassion).. This also is the most intersting usage of Dean's chiarcuric storytelling technique and runs just short of "perfect" becaquse it shouldn't take a week to read a book, not even one written by such a good writer at DK, ( )

I enjoyed this a lot. Dated 1994 - I couldn't help but consider things like Google Maps that we all have access to today. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553582895, Mass Market Paperback)

Dark Rivers Of The Heart
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.
