"One morning the unemployed of varied ages and desperation have lined up through the cold night outside a job fair, when a lone killer plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes. Eight are killed; Fifteen are wounded. Only a retired cop haunted by the unsolved killings, along with a couple of unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer in this race against time. Because the killer's next mission, will kill or maim hundreds, even thousands. King has long been prescient about the psycho-killers among us, and his depiction of here is both uncanny and chilling. This is masterful suspense. "
