Brady Hartsfield is back, and planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends, but on an entire city.The clock is ticking in unexpected ways ...Both a stand-alone novel of heart-pounding suspense and a sublimely terrifying final episode in the Hodges trilogy, End of Watch takes the series into a powerful new dimension.

Media Reviews
King works his customary storytelling magic, unspooling the plot threads almost as quickly as readers can turn the pages * Daily Mail on End of Watch *
Bill and Holly's decidedly down-to-earth detecting...makes the novel shine. I'd back these two anywhere * Guardian on End of Watch *
...the book I'd pick off the pile at the airport this summer * Evening Standard on End of Watch *
Increasingly drenched with chilling spookiness. Exciting, elegant and poignant, it's a fitting finale to a brilliant trilogy * Sunday Mirror on End of Watch *
