King's crime thriller featuring Holly Gibney and Detective Ralph Anderson is now released with a stunning new cover look.

Now you see him. Now you don't.

A horrifying crime.

Water-tight evidence points to a single suspect.

Expect he was seventy miles away, with an iron-clad alibi.

Detective Anderson sets out to investigate the impossible: how can the suspect have been both at the scene of the crime and in another town?
