The Bill Duggan stories include King's most famous short work, “Malice in Wonderland” (which also loaned its title to his 1958 hardcover short story collection).

    THE INSPIRATION FOR JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL ON FX 
“As gritty and hard-driving a thriller as you’ll find….The action never stops, the language sings and stings.” —Washington Post 
The City Primeval in Elmore Leonard’s relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the author’s much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Master’s acclaimed crime novels. The “Alexander the Great of crime fiction” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing “Oklahoma Wildman” and the dedicated city copy who’s determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV’s Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murder—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker included—and nobody then or now is better.

    Nikolai Popov was raised in a criminal entity that's as bigoted as it is violent. A byproduct of a woman pushed to the brink, he's lived a hard and fast life that often sees him facing a line-up, yet he's not spent one night behind bars. 
After a confrontation with a known enemy, Nikolai stumbles upon an angel precariously balancing on the balustrade between good and evil. To others, she seems too pure to be dragged into the dark and demented world of the Russian Mafia, but Nikolai knows better. He sees the survivor in her eyes, the one dying to live again. 
Confident a long weekend with his newly-appointed defense attorney will cure his sudden wish to help a stranger, Nikolai gets inventive with his home arrest documentation. He thrusts Justine Walsh into a dark and volatile world, having no clue she's been there before. 
Will she survive a second meeting with a prince of darkness, or will hell open its gates for an angel for the second time in history? 
Nikolai: Through The Devil's Eyes is a retelling of Nikolai: a Mafia Prince Romance solely through Nikolai's eyes. It can be read as a standalone, however, it is best after the previous Nikolai books to avoid spoilers.

Lawyer David Hamill is ready to start over. Fresh off of a divorce, he plans to recharge in Lake Tahoe on his way to his new job at a prestigious law firm in San Francisco.

Then his car loses speed and power on the winding isolated highway, leaving David stranded with few options in high desert country. His first mistake is leaving his car. His second is flagging down the next truck to come upon him. What happens next gives new meaning to the call of the open road.
