Billy Summers

By Stephen King

Book Overview

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.

Yasss

I enjoyed this story, as I do everything he writes. It kept me turning the pages. Maybe not the deepest storyline but they don't all have to be. I do love SK. There's no one who writes like him, honestly. His characters are so REAL. You could meet any one of them today, at the Walmart, while you're in the checkout lane.

One of his best!

Imho, one of his best novels of intrigue, suspense, a bad man trying to change his path as a writer who finds himself in a cabin above the infamous Overlook Hotel. The characters are flawed but very real. I was riveted.

Great Story!

Another excellent story from one of my favorite authors! Couldn't put it down!

One of the best from the Master wordsmith!

King at his best
