Master storyteller Stephen King, whose “restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained” (The New York Times Book Review), presents an unforgettable and relentless #1 New York Times bestseller about a good guy in a bad job.Chances are, if you’re a target of Billy Summers, two immutable truths apply: You’ll never even know what hit you, and you’re really getting what you deserve. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business—but he’ll do the job only if the assignment is a truly bad person. But now, time is catching up with him, and Billy wants out. Before he can do that though, there’s one last hit, which promises a generous payday at the end of the line even as things don’t seem quite on the level here. Given that Billy is among the most talented snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, and a virtual Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done, what could possibly go wrong? How about everything. Part war story and part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, this spectacular thriller of luck, fate, and love will grip readers with its electrifying narrative, as a complex antihero with one last shot at redemption must avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. You won’t ever forget this stunning novel from master storyteller Stephen King…and you will never forget Billy.

"Not sure how long it’s been since I’ve read a Stephen King novel, but this latest is a good one. Not his classic horror story, this one is a crime/suspense tale about a hired assassin [spoiler alert] who will win your heart or at least some respect. "

"This book. There's a lot to unpack, but worth the ride. Plus there's that nod in the direction of an earlier book ..."

"Reading King is like cozy slippers for me. His characters are so indelible and, ultimately, come to feel like family… so much so that it pains me to come to the end of his books. "
