Stephen King ; traducción de José Óscar Hernández Sendín y Ana Isabel Sánchez Díez

"Jamie Conklin, el único hijo de una madre soltera, solo quiere tener una infancia normal. Sin embargo, nació con una habilidad sobrenatural que su madre le insta a mantener en secreto y que le permite ver aquello que nadie puede y enterarse de lo que el resto del mundo ignora. Cuando una inspectora del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York le obliga a evitar el último atentado de un asesino que amenaza con seguir atacando incluso desde la tumba, Jamie no tardará en descubrir que el precio que debe pagar por su poder tal vez es demasiado alto"--, AmazonPublisher Annotation: Part detective tale, part thriller touching and genuine. The New York Times #1 bestselling author Stephen King returns with a brand-new novel about the secrets we keep buried and the cost of unearthing them. The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave. LATER is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King s classic novel It, LATER is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears. USA, 248pp
