Definitely check the trigger warnings before you start though! It discusses some quite heavy topics.

There’s child death, rape, various abuses and war throughout the story as key elements. There’s also a pedophile that’s a target in the story. They share base information about his heinous acts to fully condemn him. This is a crime story so many characters are unsavoury in varying ways. I may have missed some triggers.cyndi1966's review against another edition

Billy Summers is a former Marine turned mercenaire. It’s supposed to be his last job before retiring but things don’t go as planned.
The writing really did something to me. I couldn’t let go of the story.

Also, it felt like King wrote two different books and tried to merge them somehow (and I don't mean the "book within a book" - oh so it's actually three different plots).
For these reasons, I didn't finish Billy Summers (at 74%). Maybe I could have struggled through somehow, but the writing style killed it for me.
