Description
An eleven-year-old boy’s violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.

I just don't understand King's penchant for men who like two women at the same time and horror found in bugs. There's no explanation whatever on the origins of the monster. But he does know how to write and has got a killer sense of humor so whatever he writes is always worth at least three stars.

I enjoyed the plot. It was alittle slow about a quarter into the book. But picked up about half way through until the end. Would love a part 2 answering all the questions iI have about the other.
