Now an HBO limited series starring Ben Mendelsohn!Evil has many faces...maybe even yours in this #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King. An eleven-year-old boy's violated corpse is discovered in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens--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 have DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad. As the investigation expands and horrifying details begin to emerge, King's 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. Críticas Praise for The Outsider: "A juicy tale that plays at the forefront of our current phobias... [The Outsider] will remind readers of King's early novel It."-- Kirkus Reviews"The Outsider is yet another outstanding offering from Stephen King, a darkly engaging ride of a read that demonstrates once again that despite a decades-spanning career, he's still performing at the height of his powers." --The Maine Edge"The Outsider is, in many ways, an ideal combination of classic King supernatural terror and his more contemporary foray into crime writing, wedding an intricately plotted whodunit with a monster tale that has more than a few shades of It...one of King's strongest books in the past decade; an enjoyable dovetailing of crime and supernatural horror that will please Constant Readers and newcomers alike." --Emily Burnham, The Bangor Daily News"[A] fascinating mystery that challenges fans of detective yarns to be on top of their game." --The Minneapolis Star Tribune"A well-researched, finely tuned crime-cum-legal case novel forms a good chunk of the book...it's a genuinely intriguing mystery... the novel visits some very odd places - and I mean that as a compliment...[King] has always understood that the mystery - the question - is scarier than finding out the truth...The Outsider gives King fans exactly what they want at the same time as cramming in new ideas, proving the least surprising thing of all: that his novels are as strong as they ever were." --The Guardian"Absolutely riveting. . . another shockingly dark book--perfect for longtime fans, of whom there are, well, zillions." --Booklist"An It for the Trump era...remarkable and deeply pleasurable." --Ryan Vlastelica, The AV Club"Do yourself a favor and read the book." --Associated Press"Every time Stephen King writes another book, I worry. Has he gone to the horror well too often? Will it be as good as It or Dol
