The bad weather friend [large print] / Dean Koontz.
Summary:
"Benny Catspaw's perpetually sunny disposition is tested when he loses his job, his reputation, his fiancée, and his favorite chair. He's not paranoid. Someone is out to get him. He just doesn't know who or why. Then Benny receives an inheritance from an uncle he's never heard of: a giant crate and a video message. All will be well in time. Stranger yet is what's inside the crate. He's a seven-foot-tall self-described "bad weather friend" named Spike who will find Benny's enemies and deal with them. In the company of Spike and a fascinated young waitress-cum-PI-in-training named Harper, Benny plunges into a perilous adventure, the likes of which never would have crossed the mind of a decent guy like him."-- Back cover.
