Billy Summers - Stephen King

The new novel by the author of the cult bestsellers “It,” “The Outsider” and “Mr. Mercedes” Stephen King is a unique mixture of noir action with a hard-boiled detective story, a modern western, a road novel and war memoirs. Billy Summers is a professional hitman who has a very strict moral code: he only kills “bad guys.” The former marine does not like contract killings, and he is thinking about retiring. And it is at this moment that he receives an offer that is impossible to refuse - an order that will ensure his comfortable existence for the rest of his life. Billy has to deal with another killer working for the mafia. The killer lost his temper at the card table, shot half the players and ended up on trial. Members of the mafia fear that, wanting to bargain for a lighter sentence, the killer will hand over everyone he can. The mafia is ready to pay a decent amount to shut him up forever. Billy is ready to hit the ground running. However, his instincts tell him that everything will not be as simple as it seems at first glance.
