Part of the Richard Bachman Series
Blaze
Written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman
Clayton “Blaze” Blaisdell Jr. is a giant of a man with a damaged mind and a tragic past. After years of petty crime, he’s lost his only friend and partner George, the brains of their duo. But George isn’t quite gone. Blaze still hears his voice, still talks to him, still plans their biggest job yet: kidnapping a baby from a wealthy family.
What follows is a haunting, heartbreaking crime story that walks the line between suspense and sorrow. As Blaze tries to care for the child he’s taken, memories of his brutal upbringing and lost chances begin to surface, and the line between criminal and victim starts to blur.
Blaze is King’s take on the classic noir antihero: deeply flawed, oddly lovable, and destined for heartbreak.
