Stephen King De buitenstaander

Wanneer het misbruikte en levenloze lichaam van een elfjarig jongetje wordt gevonden, wijzen ooggetuigen en forensisch materiaal onmiskenbaar in de richting van de populaire coach van het plaatselijke Little League-team. Maar de verdachte, die met groot machtsvertoon wordt gearresteerd, heeft een waterdicht alibi. Detective Ralph Anderson raakt na verder onderzoek ook overtuigd dat hij inderdaad buiten de stad was. Hoe kan hij dan tegelijkertijd op twee plekken zijn geweest? Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
