Has anyone read Dean Koontz's novel "The Good Guy"?

Question

This is probably a stupid question but I rushed through the book today and finished it but I'm not understanding a few parts

In the conversation between Tim and his mother, his mother talks about a wedding between Michelle and Tim... but isn't Michelle married to Rooney? Why did she say that? (around pg 326-ish)

And in Chapters 65 and 66, I don't understand what was happening there either... who's the "son" Tim went to request a private meeting with? And did he just meet the President to show him the video?

Thanks

Answer 1

His mother talks about the wedding and the ring to give Tim the clue that she is still at home; it's not true that she has already been taken to some other place like Tim was told. It was her way of giving the clue, because Michelle had made Tim's mother a light in the shape of a ring which is hanging over her kitchen table. By saying she was looking at the ring Michelle made her, she told Tim she was still at home.

The son Tim requests to see IS the President (so he is first meeting with the President's mother). He gives the President the information he needs to destroy that organization which is operating clandestinely - it includes the DVD showing faces of the men (which the government can I.D.) as well as telling the President the entire story. He asks the President, who would have the resources necessary, to take them all down without them having any idea that he, Tim, had a hand in it.

Does that help?
