Master storyteller Stephen King, whose ārestless imagination is a power that cannot be containedā (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 youāre a target of Billy Summers, two immutable truths apply: Youāll never even know what hit you, and youāre really getting what you deserve. Heās a killer for hire and the best in the businessābut heāll 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, thereās one last hit, which promises a generous payday at the end of the line even as things donāt 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 wonāt ever forget this stunning novel from master storyteller Stephen Kingā¦and you will never forget Billy.
