And it is not just this announcement from King while about the media tour for Buick: What I could envision doing is retiring from publishing. It isn’t merely the rumors which this sound book would indicate King’s retirement. Like his father, Ned wants answers, and the secret begins to stir, not only in the minds and hearts of the veteran troopers who surround him, but in Shed B as well.įrom a Buick 8 is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable.Mainly because I forgot, but because I am doing so reread in 10-audio book balls and it made sense to finish with Buick since rarely has King composed a sound book that feels so much like that he needs to package it up and limp away to the nightand never to be heard from again. One day he looks in the window of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Sandy Dearborn, Sergeant Commanding, knows it's the boy's way of holding onto his father, and Ned is allowed to become part of the Troop D family. In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome auto accident, his 18-year-old boy Ned starts coming by the barracks, mowing the lawn, washing windows, shoveling snow. Over the years the troop absorbed the mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting out there like a still life painting that breathes - inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from. Public never found out about it.Ĭurt's avid curiosity taking the lead, they investigated as best they could, as much as they dared. A few hours later, when Rafferty vanished, Wilcox and his fellow troopers knew the car was worse than dangerous - and that it would be better if John Q. Curt Wilcox knew old cars, and he knew immediately that this one was.wrong, just wrong. Synopsis: The state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret in Shed B out back of the barracks ever since 1979, when Troopers Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox answered a call from a gas station just down the road and came back with an abandoned Buick Roadmaster.
