Counterfeit
Saturday 20 October 1979 on NBC

Ponch finds out about a counterfeiting scam run by a bogus preacher when he gets hold of some fake money.

He claims that his final thought will be: now it begins. (edit) References to literature and poetry of which Koontz is a fan is a trademark of Koontz's. The poetry of T.S. Eliot plays a prominent role in The Taking , and many of the same lines by Eliot are seen in Velocity. Fear Nothing includes a character named Tom Eliot, another reference to the famous poet.
(edit) Several of his books feature main characters who are writers. (edit) Until recently, Koontz had only rarely written more than one novel featuring the same characters, the two exceptions being the Black Bat Mystery series featuring Mike Tucker, art dealer and professional thief; and the Moonlight Bay Trilogy. In recent years, however, Koontz has written three novels featuring the character Odd Thomas, as well as the ongoing Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series. (edit) Koontz's breakout novel was Whispers, which was published in 1980. (edit)

Dean Koontz: I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life. (edit) Dean Koontz: I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence-I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society. (edit) Dean Koontz: I don't write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing. (edit) Dean Koontz: I do give books as gifts sometimes, when people would rather have one than a new Ferrari. (edit) Dean Koontz: We live in Newport Beach, California, and when it gets really, really chilly out--say fifty degrees--I like to take a walk in just my shirtsleeves because I'm of pioneer stock, and I am invigorated by such bitter weather.
