The Colorado Kid
On an island off the coast of Maine, a man is found dead. There's no identification on the body. Only the dogged work of a pair of local newspapermen and a graduate student in forensics turns up any clues.
But that's just the beginning of the mystery. Because the more they learn about the man and the baffling circumstances of his death, the less they understand. Was it an impossible crime? Or something stranger still...?
No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and the work of Graham Greene, one of the world's great storytellers presents a surprising tale that explores the nature of mystery itself...

I enjoyed reading this book, though I read it very slowly for such a small novel (due to me reading my physical books). I liked that it was based on an article that someone give him to look at as a subject/topic to recreate as a book (which). I totally understand the way it ended and I also very much agree with why king ended the book the way he did, completely understandable in real life some things are ….. “just”…… nothing more nothing less! Four thumbs up 👍👍👍👍

a book .. without Resolution .. sounds painful .. it is, yet i enjoy the whole spirit of thus .. kinda like watching 2001 a space odyssey, each viewer can come up with theories of their own, discuss with others.. reading The Colorado Kid was a unique experience and i'm glad i went on the ride

A story about nothing, kind of like a boring Seinfeld episode. I’ve read a lot of Stephen King. I’d pass on this one.

Wonderfully written; if you're into a thought-provoking tale, then this one is for you! If you're someone who needs fact and solution to find plots enjoyable, may want to stray from the Colorado Kid.
