The visitor

Evil can have many faces...
It could even have yours.

After the spectacular success of the "Bill Hodges Trilogy" (Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch), King surprises us with a thriller as chilling as it is original.

Winner in the Mystery / Thriller category at the Goodreads Awards 2018 and one of the best thrillers of 2018 according to Barnes & Noble.

An eleven-year-old boy has been brutally murdered. All evidence points to one of Flint City's most beloved citizens: Terry Maitland, Little League coach, literature teacher, exemplary husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson orders his arrest. Maitland has a solid alibi proving he was in another city when the crime was committed, but the DNA evidence found at the scene confirms he is guilty. To justice and public opinion, Terry Maitland is a murderer and the case is closed.

But Detective Anderson is not satisfied. Maitland seems like a good guy, an exemplary citizen—does he have two faces? And how is it possible that he was in two places at once?

The answer, as one would expect from Stephen King's pen, will make you wish you hadn't asked.

«The Outsider takes us back to classic detective stories without losing the characteristics that give it recognition. It manages to rewrite a frightening legend (which we have all heard at some point) without us knowing what is happening.»
