The Outsider
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. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King’s propulsive 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.

MY FAVORITE BOOK OF 2018 with a premise that will continue to haunt me for the rest of my days.Although I find it close to impossible to review King's work...I wanted to at least share a few of my prominent thoughts regarding this novel.Firstly, I really enjoyed the topics explored in this book. Particularly, the idea that the court of public opinion can often be more unforgiving than any court of law.I also enjoyed how King showed various vignettes of a whole host of characters in the townFind all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/WARNING: SPOILER-ISH Doesnt look like a monster, does he?They rarely do.
