Agoraphobia, hypnotic mind control, and...Keanu? Yes, in his latest novel, False Memory, best-seller Dean Koontz serves up a rambling story that takes his foray into pop psychology even further. (His last effort, Seize the Night, chronicled a photophobe and his smart pets.) Memory (420,000 copies in print after three pressruns) features a troubled quartet -- not to mention a millionairess who has an irrational fear of Matrix star Keanu Reeves. Elsewhere on the fiction list, romance queen Jayne Ann Krentz debuts with her tale of film-festival passion, Soft Focus; Jonathan Kellerman holds at No. 6 with his latest Alex Delaware thriller, Monster.
