The Library Policeman

The third gripping tale from Stephen King’s bestselling book Four Past Midnight.Set in Junction City, Iowa, The Library Policeman is the story of Sam Peebles, a middle-aged businessman who happens to have some overdue books. It seems a minor offense—but not to the town's malevolent monster of a librarian. What follows is spine-tingling suspense as only Stephen King can deliver it.
