Stephanie McCann ist eine junge Journalistin, die beim „Weekly Islander“
in Maine ihr eigentlich ödes Dasein fristet. Doch das Geschäft aus
Nichtigkeit und Trivialitäten macht ihr Spaß. Doch dann kommt plötzlich
ein Star-Reporter in die Redaktion, de etwas über ungeklärte Mordfälle
wissen will. Er wird wieder fortgeschickt, wegen Mangels an Geschichten.
Aber im fünften Kapitel von Colorado Kid erfährt man (endlich),
dass es auch hier in der Provinz einen merkwürdigen Mordfall gegeben
hat. Damals, vor 25 Jahren, fanden zwei Jugendliche der
Leichtathletikmannschaft der Bayview Consolidated High School eine
Leiche, deren Herkunft zunächst nicht geklärt werden kann. Als aber ein
Jahr später dank eines emsigen Gerichtsmediziners klar wird, dass der
Tote aus Colorado stammte, wird alles nur noch geheimnisvoller. Wie
konnte er in so kurzer Zeit nach Maine gelangen? Scheinbar ein Ding der
Unmöglichkeit ...

Hard Case Crime series is a wonderful idea: a mix of original and reprinted hard-boiled detective novels by some of the best writers in the field, packaged to look like lurid 1940s and 1950s thrillers. And getting Stephen King to write a new novel as part of the series was quite a coup. King is the
