King’s crime thriller featuring Holly Gibney and Detective Ralph Anderson is now released with a stunning new cover look.

Now you see him. Now you don’t.

A horrifying crime.

Water-tight evidence points to a single suspect.

Except he was seventy miles away, with an iron-clad alibi.

Detective Anderson sets out to investigate the impossible: how can the suspect have been both at the scene of the crime and in another town?

The Outsider gives King fans exactly what they want at the same time as cramming in new ideas, proving the least surprising thing of all: that his novels are as strong as they ever were

So shout it from the rooftops: This new take on the old conundrum of how a man can be in two places at once is sensationally good

The Afterword.co.uk
This is one of those books where you find yourself rationing the number of pages you read each night to eke it out. A very good read indeed
Club.StephenKing
Mixing up genres and multiplying the surprises, The Outsider did keep me in suspense and I think that it is a really great King!
The Sun
King's blend of supernatural crime makes for a taut, clever read that will keep you guessing until the end
Dublin Evening Echo
A crime masterpiece that has you gripped throughout
Karin Slaughter, The Washington Post
King is arguably as much an American icon as the '68 Fastback or a classic red and white Plymouth Fury. All of these glories are on full display in his latest mystery-horror hybrid...you're in for one hell of a ride'
Daily Mirror
This chilling novel starts as a police procedural before morphing into the sort of supernatural thriller King is best known for . . . there is violence simmering below the surface of this tightly plotted yarn.
Daily Record
This police procedural morphs into a gripping, chilling supernatural thriller
