Another worthy page-turner from a protean master." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The ever prolific King moves from his trademark horror into the realm of the hard-boiled noir thriller.Murder most foul and mayhem most entertaining. This is another outstanding outing from a writer who consistently delivers more than his readers expect." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) " tripwire-taut thriller.King meticulously lays out the details of Billy's trade, his Houdini-style escapes, and his act to look simpler than he is, but the novel's main strength is a story within a story. You won't put this story down, and you won't forget Billy. It's about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption. This spectacular can't-put-it-down novel is part war story, part love letter to small town America and the people who live there, and it features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. But he'll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. He's a killer for hire and the best in the business. From legendary storyteller and #1 bestseller Stephen King, whose "restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained," ( The New York Times Book Review) comes a thrilling new novel about a good guy in a bad job.īilly Summers is a man in a room with a gun.
