Hit the Beach — or the Couch — With the 52 Best Summer Reads of 2021

Stephen King's latest novel is a reminder that even though he's the master of horror, he's equally adept at writing engrossing character-driven novels. Billy Summers follows the titular character, who is a war veteran and one of the best assassins around. But Billy lives by a code — he only kills truly bad men. With just one last job to do before he retires for good, the veteran sets out on a journey of redemption that will take him into the heart of small-town America.
