Summary
Billy Summers is Stephen King's gripping and compelling novel about a contract killer, an ex-marine, with one last payday to earn before he retires.... Once again, King sets his storytelling talent on a new path with this epic new thriller.
From legendary storyteller and number one best-selling author Stephen King, whose ‘restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained’ (The New York Times Book Review), comes a thrilling new novel about a good guy in a bad job.
Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he’ll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. So what could possibly go wrong?
How about everything.
This spectacular can’t-put-it-down novel is part war story, part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, and it features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption.
You won’t put this story down, and you won’t forget Billy.

Loved the first half
An hour in and I was hooked. The Billy character was great. I was already casting an Oscar winning film😂 But then the book took a turn. The fantastic Billy somehow became more ordinary. He suddenly became very touchy feely and lost that quirkiness that was so fascinating. But still a very entertaining book and brilliantly read!!!

King does it again!
I've been reading King for as long as I've been able to read. I think he just keeps getting better and this is no exception. I hope he stays healthy and can bring us many more books like this.

Don't know how he does it
How does Stephen King manage to create such vivid, real feeling characters that make you want to spend so much time with them?
Another great book to add to the many.
Thanks Stephen

Stephen King does Jack Reacher…
Billy Summers feels like a cross between Jack Reacher and Dexter. I enjoy both those things however it wasn’t quite what I was expecting from a Stephen King novel.
If you’re after a straight up easy to read thriller with an uncomplicated plot then this is for you!
