Title: The Outsider
Author: Stephen King
Genre: Horror
How disoriented would you be if several people around town were saying they witnessed you in places you hadn't been? What if your DNA was reported at the crime scene of an atrocious killing? What about your fingerprints showing up on the murder weapon? This utterly confusing situation is exactly what Terry Maitland, an English teacher and baseball coach, is confronted with. With all the evidence at hand, the Flint City DA thinks the case is a slam dunk and that worries Terry.
As Terry realizes how much trouble he is in, he has his own lawyer start building his defense. Even though Terry's attorney feels confident that there's no way Terry can be convicted, the particularly violent nature of the crime has the city up in arms and acting out.
Can Terry's name be cleared? How can the strange coincidences that keep cropping up be accounted for? Read The Outsider to find out.
Actor Will Patton, from Remember the Titans and Armageddon, voices the characters for the audiobook. For the most part it was really well done, but the cadence he uses for one of the female characters is odd and takes some getting used to.
