About this listen

A compelling and chilling suspense novel that will delight all fans of King's best-selling Hodges Trilogy.

Following the phenomenal success of his Bill Hodges series - Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers and End of Watch, all number one best sellers - Stephen King has written an enthralling crime thriller with a unique twist.

When an 11-year-old boy is found murdered, forensic evidence and reliable eyewitnesses undeniably point to the town's popular Little League coach. But the jailed suspect, arrested in a public spectacle, has an alibi, and further research convinces Detective Ralph Anderson that the coach was indeed out of town. So how can he have been in two places at the same time?

S King's always good. Enjoyed every minute, especially Holly Gibney's character. His characters are always believable, & their faults make them better.

Outsider - Outstanding

King is obviously a master with his words and creative in depth mind of characters, plots, pace and suspense. This wonderfully crafted masterpiece does not disappoint! in fact the book encourages you to listen to just one more page, just a few more minutes, then before you know it you are late....
This particular thriller captivates immediately and what I particularly enjoyed were the great characters who made the story all the more enthralling along with the very suited narrator, who in my mind sounds and speaks as if King himself chose him.
I would love to see a follow up to this, maybe a series? Go on Mr King....
Buy it, listen to it and enjoy.

Such a brilliant story devised by King and this audio performance by Will Patton is phenomenal! A gripping crime novel mixed with King’s uniquely fantastic supernatural elements, creates an amazing experience. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a thrilling experience, and to any fans of King’s previous works the connections continue!!
