![]() But Maitland has a solid alibi for the crime, which means that it looks like Frankie was murdered by a man who was somehow in two places at once. Detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) investigates, though it’s not a tough case to crack as mountains of forensic and eyewitness evidence point to beloved local teacher and baseball coach Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman, who also executive produced the series and directed its first two episodes). The Outsider tells the story of the gruesome murder of a young boy in the fictional town of Flint City, Oklahoma. The book features some character overlap with that series, but in terms of its structure and tone, it also often feels far more like a murder mystery than a horror story. In The Outsider, classic King and the Hodges trilogy collide, both literally and stylistically. But in recent years, he’s also written his Bill Hodges trilogy, hard-boiled detective novels that are full of murder and intrigue but very light on the paranormal. The author is best known for scary stories like Carrie, It, and The Shining, along with some beloved non-scary ones like The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me. ![]() ![]() The 20 Best Stephen King Adaptations, Ranked. ![]()
