He's got a plan. But he hasn't got a clue.

Clayton Blaisdell's capers are strictly small-time until he meets George Rackley. With Blaze's brawn and George's brains, they pull off a hundred successful cons. Then George plans the one big score every small timer dreams of: kidnapping the infant heir to a family fortune.

The trouble is that by the time the deal goes down, the brains of the operation has died. Or has he?

Now Blaze is running into the white hell of the Maine woods with a baby as hostage. The crime of the century just turned into a race against time . . .

I loved this book. After a long break from books, I found it hard to sit down with a book and read, so I thought I would start with audiobooks while doing chores. This book changed that, as I found myself finding things to do just so I could listen to it more.

I found my heart going out to Blaze, a guy who had been given a hard start in life, and used by most he crossed paths with. A criminal with a big heart.

King apologises at the start of this book by saying he doesn't think it's very good but I disagree, I enjoyed it throughly and I am so glad I gave it a chance.

Great story

You so wanted the end to be different but you understand why it’s not.
It basically shows you life is tough and not everybody gets the breaks they deserve

Sad but good

I didn’t know what to expect as King played it down a little at the start, but I really enjoyed it. Blaze is a great character and definitely has more to him than he or anyone knows. Great performance too.

Awesome story

I have read every SK novel, short story and essay Blaze is something different It is overwhelming in it’s sadness and beauty Blaze was written around 50 years ago It is heartbreaking to know that the world has not changed towards people who we regard as ‘different’ You were correct in your introduction Mr King I wept and I am grateful that your novel from long ago reminded me that I still have the capacity to care.
