The Colorado Kid (Online Meetup)
Details
Finally, we are about to start delving into King's crime era!
Book blurb follows:
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...
The discussion will be online and I'll post the link to the meeting on the day. The meeting will probably last about 2-3 hours including drinks breaks.
Please look out for any great second hand versions, there are a load of great covers out there - do post them on here and/or bring them along to the meeting!
