Oh, how I've missed Dean Koontz! It has been a while since I've read one of his books and this was a great reminder of what an exciting storyteller he is. Fast-paced and nerve-racking, Velocity begins in a bar where our protagonist, Billy, a congenial bartender, is involved in a conversation with a couple of customers. At the end of his shift, he finds a note on his car directing him to decide the fate of two strangers. Either way he chooses - even if he doesn't choose - someone will die. And so it begins...

Even as Billy struggles with deciding what to do, the killer is in motion - setting things up so that Billy, no matter what he does, will be the number one suspect. There seems to be no escaping the inevitable, but wait! Koontz has a wild ride in store!
