Clay Blaisdell is one big mother, but his capers are strictly small-time until his mentor introduces him to the one big score that every small-timer dreams of: kidnap. But now the brains of the operation has died - or has he? - and Blaze is alone with a baby as hostage. The Crime of the Century just turned into a race against time in the white hell of the Maine woods.

Recensione:
'BLAZE feels like an essential missing piece in King's oeuvre...compelling' (Independent on Sunday)
'BLAZE feel like an essential missing piece in King's oeuvre, bridging the gap between the occasionally derivative, but always compelling, Bachman novels and the shocking power of CARRIE' (Independent on Sunday)
'King's brilliance is in making his readers root for the kidnapper rather than the authorities. Of course King to going to make Clay fall in love with the baby; of course the baby is going to return that love; and of course the book's going to remain a three-handkerchief weepy. Cut out the sentiment? This is Stephen King. You might as well try cutting the blue veins from a block of Stilton.' (Telegraph)
'King's brilliance is in making his readers root for the kidnapper rather than the authorities' (Daily Telegraph)
'Tightly written and compelling' (Daily Express)
Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next - is a gift. Stephen King, like Charles Dickens before him, has this gift in spades (The Times on CELL)
'Thrilling, genuinely terrifying, beautifully textured and full of wonderful invention' (Daily Mail on LISEY'S STORY)
'A consummate and compassionate novel - one of King's very best' (Guardian on LISEY'S STORY)
