Evil has many faces…maybe even yours in this #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King.
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The Outsider is a novel of two halves: a gritty crime procedural that becomes a deep dive into supernatural horror. Character actor Will Patton (who’s narrated many Stephen King audiobooks) captures the nuances of King's expert storytelling: the pitch-perfect evocation of small-town life, the investigation of a shocking murder, and bone-chilling terror. Patton's seasoned delivery adds real-world gravitas to the mystery and dials up the unsettling tension, making him the ideal guide for one of King's most terrifying novels.
