Stephen King’s “Outsider” is back on sale! This time, the best-selling novel by the master of horror appeared in a graphic design referring to the series on HBO.
A bestial crime. An investigation full of question marks. Stephen King, in a particularly fruitful creative period, presents one of his most disturbing and engaging stories.
A massacred body of an eleven-year-old boy is found in a city park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints leave no room for doubt: the perpetrator of the crime is one of Flint City’s most beloved citizens. This is Terry Maitland, youth team coach, English teacher, husband and father of two daughters. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once trained, orders an immediate arrest in the limelight. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon get another compelling piece of evidence: traces of DNA. The matter seems obvious.
As frightening details come to light during the investigation, King’s gripping tale takes a new turn, the tension building up until it becomes almost unbearable. Terry Maitland is seemingly a nice man, but does he have a second face? The answer is shocking – just as only Stephen King can shock.
Based on the best-selling novel by the master of horror, the series features, among others, Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo and Bill Camp. Premieres on January 13 on HBO. Stephen King (born 1947 in Portland) has written over fifty books and all of them have become world bestsellers. Among them are: “Salem Town”, “Misery”, “Dallas ’63” and “The Shining”. King’s novels have had a multi-million circulation, translations into over 30 languages, and worldwide you can find over 300 million copies of books with his name on the cover. Stephen King lives in Maine with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
