When deceased trooper Curt Wilcox's son, Ned, took a summer dispatch job with his father's old unit, he discovered the Buick 8 - the Crocodile, while on a Saturday window washing mission. But "it wasn't a 1954 at all, or a Buick, or even a car. It was something else..." "A secret closely guarded by members of Troop D Pennsylvania State Police stationed at Statler. Alternating between then and now, members of Troop D relate the story of the mysterious Buick, its otherworldliness, and its tenacious hold on the members of Troop D. This is vintage Stephen King - scary and thought-provoking, with an excellent Author's Note relating the story to incidents in the author's own life.
"Heroism is the act of going forward in the face of fear."
"Curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought him back."
"Sometimes when things go wrong, we get more help than we ever expected, and sometimes it's still not enough."
