About this listen
An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively listenable stories.
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is 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 add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King's propulsive 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.

"Narrator Will Patton turns this story into an audio blockbuster.... King's usual sprawling cast of characters is also present, and suffice it to say that Patton does them all justice." (AudioFile)

Great new King book! Very underrated.
An excellent King story. Arresting and original, but with that signature Stephen King flavor. Some of the minor characters are a little ill-defined, which can be a little confusing. But all of the central characters are rich and interesting. The plot is creepy, fun and suspenseful. Also, Patton's performance is top-notch. Highly recommended.

Steven King: I Love You
If you are a fan of Mr. S. King’s work, then you will enjoy this one. The story is excellent and the narration is top notch. Although this story is not in King’s top five, it is certainly worth the read/listen. #Audible1

Awesome book! Great story and performance.
Loved the narration and the story of the book. Fits in really well with the Finders Keepers trilogy. If you liked Mr. Mercedes you will enjoy this book.

Awesome story, awful reading
The story was very good the reading sucked. His attempt to try to change his voice to sound like different people was not good at all
