# Billy Summers - Hardcover

by **Stephen King** (Author)

**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. Given that Billy is among the most talented snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, and a virtual Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done, what could possibly go wrong? How about _everything_.

Part war story and part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, this spectacular thriller of luck, fate, and love will grip readers with its electrifying narrative, as a complex antihero with one last shot at redemption must avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. You won't ever forget this stunning novel from master storyteller Stephen King...and you will _never_ forget Billy.
