Joyland by Stephen King
Joyland by Stephen King Publisher: Hard Case Crime About the Book: Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. Note From the Publisher and the Author: Charles Ardai, editor of Hard Case Crime, promises a layered, genre-crossing story. "Joyland is a breathtaking, beautiful, heartbreaking book," he said. "It's a whodunit, it's a carny novel, it's a story about growing up and growing old, and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time. Even the most hard-boiled readers will find themselves moved. When I finished it, I sent a note saying, 'Goddamn it, Steve, you made me cry.'"
