Sully-John – as children living in the town of Harwich, Connecticut in 1960. “Low Men In Yellow Coats” introduces the primary protagonists – Bobby Garfield, Carol Gerber, and John Sullivan a.k.a. Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Goldman, who had previously written the script for Misery, took a second crack at bringing Stephen King’s work to the big screen with the project… though the legacy of the final product is far more complicated. The strength of this relationship led directly to the creation of director Scott Hicks’ Hearts In Atlantis – Castle Rock having acquired the rights to the book of the same name just months after its publication in 1999. According to Tony Magistrale’s Hollywood’s Stephen King, there was a standing deal in place that would see Castle Rock Entertainment own the movie rights to a given story for the price of $1, but King got director, script, and cast approval, as well as five percent of the profits from the very first dollar. The development of so many successful films generated a great deal of trust between Stephen King and Castle Rock – which was obviously fitting given that Rob Reiner named the company after the fictional setting of 1986’s Stand By Me (which is based on the King novella “The Body”).

That being said, I really wanted to like this book more than I ended up doing. Let me start this review with the preface that I love Johnathan Davis and everything he narrates. But he can't stop now, for his magic has marked him, so he must fight the odds, even though he seems hopelessly overmatched, his doom seeming certain at the spectral hands of one he cannot even see. Already a man with a dark past, he can ill afford to fail, lest his livelihood be forfeit. Ethan is in way over his head, and he knows it. His adversary has already killed - and not for his own gain, but in the service of his powerful masters, people for whom others are mere pawns in a game of politics and power. Suddenly, he faces another conjurer of enormous power, someone unknown, who is part of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of power in the turbulent colony. But for Ethan Kaille, a thieftaker who makes his living by conjuring spells that help him solve crimes, politics is for others…until he is asked to recover a necklace worn by the murdered daughter of a prominent family.
