Stephen King

n The Outsider, a brutal crime shakes the small town of Flint City, Oklahoma: an eleven‑year‑old boy’s body is found in a park, and all physical evidence — eyewitness accounts, fingerprints and DNA — points to beloved Little League coach Terry Maitland. Yet Maitland has an airtight alibi that places him miles away at the time of the murder. What begins as a straightforward detective investigation quickly unfurls into a chilling mystery that defies logic. As Detective Ralph Anderson and a team of unlikely allies follow conflicting clues, they uncover a terrifying supernatural force capable of impersonating innocent people and leaving devastation in its wake. Blending gripping procedural suspense with unsettling horror, King delivers a dark exploration of truth, belief and the inexplicable.
