There are good people and there are good people. But we all know that neither of them is very realistic. Then the grey characters. Their innocent hearts were tainted early on in the journey of life, causing them to have that shade of black. However, years of struggles have led them to develop a keen sense of the good and the bad. They sympathize with the victims but know very well who deserves the punishment. Billy Summers is one of them. King does an excellent job in bringing the character to life, while at the same time maintaining a strong sense of balance of Karma and vengeance. One of the best books in quite a few years, this book could easily be regarded as one of the bests of Stephen King. Here is a review of the novel. See if “Billy Summers” is a book that might suit your taste.
Plot
Billy Summers is a hitman and an ex-Marine sniper who only takes contracts of murdering “bad” guys, but now he wishes to retire. Nick, whom Billy has previously worked for, pitches Billy one last assignment, one that pays $500K up the advance and $1.5M when the job is completed. Joel Allen, the target, is a hitman as well. He’s sought in the region for killing a man who cheated him out of a large sum of money in a poker game.
