"An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation...An eleven-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. The case seems ironclad, especially when Anderson and the district attorney are able to add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. But Maitland has an alibi, and it turns out his story has incontrovertible evidence of its own. How can two opposing stories be true?"--Dust jacket.

Perfect Stephen King submitted by Jinxyluis on July 21, 2018, 10:17am This is a creepy and suspenseful novel with great characters.

Suspenseful and Thrilling submitted by zixyxuan on June 23, 2019, 12:48pm This is my first Stephen King novel and I really enjoyed it! The first half of the book was really good, but it definitely slowed down towards the end. My main problem with the novel is that a lot of the supernatural elements are not well explained and we don't really get a clear picture of why certain events are happening. Regardless, this was still an excellent and thrilling read and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good mystery/thriller.

Overall rating: 4 / 5 Stars

Supernatural suspense thriller submitted by TLW1998 on July 10, 2019, 11:04pm Very enjoyable book with a creepy supernatural antagonist

Definitely Creepy submitted by jucruz on July 13, 2019, 8:04pm Creepy because it starts off like your typical murder mystery detective schtick before abducting you and placing you inside a shadowy world where the answer is almost too weird and specific, it could just maybe be right there with you in the room...
