| The Outsider. A Novel. Stephen King |
I'm enjoying "The Outsider" by Stephen King.
Evil has many faces…maybe even yours in this #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King—also an HBO limited series starring Ben Mendelsohn!
An
eleven-year-old boy’s violated corpse is discovered in a town park.
Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s
most popular citizens—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 have
DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems
ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying details
begin to emerge, King’s story kicks into high gear, generating strong
tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice
guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will
shock you as only Stephen King can.
