But now, time is catching up with him, and Billy wants out. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business-but he’ll do the job only if the assignment is a truly bad person. Of course, in classic "one last job" fashion, things don't precisely go as planned.Master storyteller Stephen King, whose “restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained” ( The New York Times Book Review), presents an unforgettable and relentless #1 New York Times bestseller about a good guy in a bad job.Ĭhances are, if you’re a target of Billy Summers, two immutable truths apply: You’ll never even know what hit you, and you’re really getting what you deserve. Before he can leave the game completely, however, he is assigned one last job, which is to take out another trained assassin who has been arrested and knows too much about his employers' operation for anyone to feel comfortable.
