About the book

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.
