The Colorado Kid

On an island off the coast of Maine, a man is found dead. There's no
identification on the body. Only the dogged work of a pair of local
newspapermen and a graduate student in forensics turns up any clues.

But that's just the beginning of the mystery. Because the more they learn
about the man and the baffling circumstances of his death, the less they
understand. Was it an impossible crime? Or something stranger still...?

No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart
of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes
of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and the work of Graham Greene, one of
the world's great storytellers presents a surprising tale that explores the
nature of mystery itself...
