Duma Key is a most unlikely buddy story between the recently crippled Edgar Freemantle and the oddly omnipresent Jerome Wireman (King's most interesting creation since George Stark/Alexis Machine in The Dark Half (Viking, 1989).  Add the elderly and mysterious Elizabeth Eastlake and the King staple themes of old age, physical and psychological damage and repair, and ancient evil, or course, and we have King's finest offering since Insomnia (Perfect Learning, 1994).  Mad Men's own John Slattery provides the most convincing narration since James Woods in "Secret Window, Secret Garden" from Four Past Midnight (Penguin-Highbridge, 2008).
