Now an HBO limited series starring Ben Mendelsohn! 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.

Interesting how this book story line segues from one topic to the next and completed tied up all loose ends while managing to introduce a character from previous books. Very thrilling from beginning to endThe Bill Hodges Trilogy by Stephen King features a fascinating blend of crime, psychological tension, and complex character dynamics. Holly Gibney emerges as a standout character, evolving significantly throughout the series. Her intelligence, resourcefulness, and unique approach to problem-solving provide a fresh perspective . Her and Detective Anderson’s storyline were both well written
I have absolutely no idea how someone could be so good at one thing for so many years but this book is literally just as amazing as his earlier works. Two thumbs up!!
The story was one I didn’t want to put down! The characters were introduced in a logical way so that you did not lose who they were and why they were involved! Thanks Mr.King!
I have always been a fan of Stephen King and I find this book an exceptional read. King has done a great job grabbing my attention, holding my interest and making me want more! Can't wait for the next one!!!
Oh, just a gripping police procedural that gradually turns more bewildering, until it becomes completely and irrevocably paradoxical, because the pieces absolutely will not fit together, and either answer is impossible. THEN, halfway through the book, the plot takes a left-handed corkscrew turn to resolve that dilemma with an answer too horrifying to accept. Can the detectives fight an evil in which they cannot believe?
