Billy Summers (Spanish Edition)

Stephen King, the legendary storyteller of uncontainable imagination, gives us a spectacular novel about a good guy with a very bad job.

Billy Summers is a hitman and the best at what he does, but he has one rule: he only accepts a job if his target is truly a bad person.

Now Billy wants to quit, but he still has one last hit. And being one of the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq War veteran, a true Houdini when it comes to disappearing after finishing a job, what could go wrong?

Everything.

Reviews:

«In Billy Summers (as he did in Misery) King insists on the idea that writing is surviving and that there is nothing more important than living to tell the tale.»
Rodrigo Fresán

«An Iraq War veteran, Billy Summers has a past more messed up than Rambo's, but he's a great guy: good neighbor, good babysitter, good lover... And a soldier who knows that you never leave a comrade behind, even if it's a bad deal.»
Esquire

«With Billy Summers, his second novel in a year, the King of Terror returns to his best level.»
El País

«If his ingenuousness without malevolence is the appeal of Billy Summers, as the action progresses he transforms into a vigilante worthy of admiration.»
La Razón

«Everything converges, once again, in what is probably King's recurring Theme: doing justice by undoing injustice.»
ABC

«A dark critique of society with which the prolific writer once again puts us in front of horror, but this time confronting ourselves and the society in which we live.»
Cosmopolitan

«Billy Summers has it all: it's a disturbing crime novel, it's a sweet love story, it's a raw war story, it's also an excellent manual on how to write a book and, in addition, a thrilling revenge plot, in the style of I Am the Justice.»
La Voz de Galicia

«No more criminal murder or more entertaining chaos. Another addictive read from a master of a protean mind.»
Kirkus

«Another exceptional novelty from a writer who always gives readers much more than they expect.»
Publishers Weekly

«In Billy Summers there are no supernatural elements (except a hidden reference to a certain haunted hotel). Instead, [Stephen King] goes into noir mode and tells us the story of a hitman with one last job ahead... And it's his best book in years.»
The Guardian

«Billy Summers is as riddled with monsters as his previous novels. But they are not the paranormal ones we usually associate with the master of terror. Here, the monsters are murderers, mobsters, rapists and thieves... In short, evildoers of the worst kind.»
Star Tribune

«Now he's the King of Crime too? Stephen King hits the nail on the head with his thriller about a hitman, Billy Summers.»
USA Today

«Billy Summers is half The Day of the Jackal, half homage to rural America, half love story and completely addictive.»
