NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. An unspeakable crime. A
confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has
never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling
and compulsively readable stories. An eleven-year-old boy’s
violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and
fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most
popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach,
English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective
Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick
and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and
the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the
fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad. As the
investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge,
King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong
tension and almost unbearable suspense.
Characters: 111. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Thriller.
