A Hard Case Crime novel by Stephen King
Jamie Conklin just wants a normal life, but he was born with a terrifying gift: he can see the dead, and they speak to him. They can’t lie, and they don’t linger long…but what they reveal can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Raised by a single mother working in the publishing world, Jamie tries to keep his ability a secret. But when a detective draws him into a case that blurs the line between crime and horror, Jamie learns that some truths should stay buried…and that evil doesn’t always stay dead.
Later is a tight, gritty, and surprisingly emotional blend of supernatural horror and crime noir. Written with pulp energy and ghost-story chill, it’s a coming-of-age tale with a serious bite. And a final twist that hits hard.
