Book description
At 6'7” and built like a bear, Clay Blaisdell is one big mother, but
his capers are strictly small-time until he meets George Rackley.
George introduces him to a hundred cons and the one big score that
every small timer dreams of: kidnap.
The Gerards are filthy rich, and their child, the last twig on the
family tree, could be worth millions. And after all a baby can't ID
you, so you can return it alive.
There's only one problem: when the time comes for the deal to go
down, George, the brains of the partnership, has died.
Or has he?
Now Blaze is running into the teeth of a howling storm and the cops
are closing in. He's got a baby as a hostage, and the Crime of the
Century just turned into a race against time in the white hell of the
Maine woods.
Lost for years amongst Stephen King's papers, and published for the
first time ever in 2007, Blaze is a heartstopping thriller
reminiscent of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men with the power of a
noir fable.
