Like the detectives and the District Attorney, you’ll be trying to figure out how any of this is possible. Maitland, a high school teacher and well-respected member of the community, maintains his innocence, and there’s irrefutable evidence to prove that he didn’t kill Frankie. Soon, Anderson is arresting Little League coach Terry Maitland. It actually turns out to be a pretty easy case to crack: the DNA evidence is ironclad and there’s a handful of reliable eye-witnesses. The crime is unspeakable – so I won’t speak of it here, you’ll get enough of it in the book – and Detective Ralph Anderson is determined to catch the psycho who committed the crime posthaste. Eleven-year-old Frank Peterson has been found dead in the woods. The Outsiders delivers in every category…and lucky for me I started it at the beginning of my March Break because I could not put that 560 page sucker down.įlint City, Oklahoma is a quiet little ‘burb, but something horrific has happened there.

I know when I read him, I will not be disappointed ( The Tommyknockers aside).

Despite the often creepy subject matter, King is like book comfort food. I haven’t read anything by Stephen King since Joyland but I am a fan from wayyyyy back.
