from one of the publishing newsletters I receive:

King's Pulp Case Study
Stephen King's latest experiment is a "pulp-style"
crime novel, THE COLORADO KID, to be published by
Hard Case Crime in mass market paperback this
October. The company describes the book as "the
story of two veteran newspapermen and their
investigation into the mysterious death of a man on
an island off the coast of Maine." Hard Case's
books are issued in collaboration with Dorchester
Publishing. Simon & Schuster will publish audio and
e-book editions.

King says in the release, "Hard Case Crime presents
good, clean, bare-knuckled storytelling, and even
though The Colorado Kid is probably more bleu than
outright noir, I think it has some of those old-
fashioned kick-ass story-telling virtues. It ought
to; this is where I started out, and I'm pleased to
be back."
