It’s also very much a part of ours as well, with a few Donald Trump references and a foreshadowing of the COVID-19 crisis as Billy hunkers down and has to watch life go by outside, less because of a pandemic and more because of his morally questionable chosen profession.

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. But he’ll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business. Those worried he’s gone full Raymond Chandler, never fear: King makes it clear that Billy Summers very much exists in his creepily familiar world. Billy Summers - Kindle edition by King, Stephen. Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. King’s known for his literary villains, yet in creating his killer title protagonist, he exquisitely gets into the mind of a hitman and roots around in there to figure out what kind of person would do wetwork, the loneliness involved for those who choose that as a career path and the effect it would have on friends and loved ones. He is the title character of Stephen King’s latest, and much to the chagrin of die-hard horror fans, Billy Summers is a heartfelt tearjerker and a page-turning masterpiece of human drama. Actually is as good at the hard-boiled prose – in this case, the tale of an extremely effective assassin trying to get out after one last job – as he is the scary stuff. Stephen King talks thriller Billy Summers and why the pandemic isn't that different from The Stand The latest novel from the prolific author, swaps the supernatural for page-turning thrills. Billy Summers is a hitman, but he’s a good man.
