The Outsider

Produktbeschreibung

An eleven-year-old boy is found in a park, hideously murdered. The fingerprints and DNA are unmistakably those of the town's most popular baseball coach, Terry Maitland, a man of impeccable reputation. King constructs a race against time to uncover the identity of a diabolical killer who has left victims - and "perpetrators" - across the country, and who is on his way to his next horrific act. 

Kritik

Praise for The Outsider:

"A juicy tale that plays at the forefront of our current phobias... [The Outsider] will remind readers of King's early novel It."
