A pre-teen boy is savagely murdered and left in the
woods. His coach’s DNA is on him. His coach’s fingerprints are on him. His coach is seen with him by several people
in the hours before his body is found.
The case seems like a slam dunk.
But as several law enforcement agencies work together,
they find that not everything is as it seems – not everything adds up. There is conflicting evidence – hours away
conflicting evidence – and someone else’s fingerprints.
It’s said that everyone has a double. But maybe it’s not as simple as that. Maybe some can become your double.
Stephen King leads his readers on a high-speed chase to
answer the question of whether the person you saw has to be the person you saw
in, The Outsider – an engrossing and disturbing read that leaves the reader
wanting to believe – and not wanting to believe.
