Summary
The community of French Landing, Wisconsin, has been plagued by a series of murders. The killer has been called "The Fisherman" because he made a determined attempt to imitate serial killer Albert Fish's tactics.
The murderer in French Landing, like Fish, preys on youngsters and eats their bodies. As the narrative begins, two victims have already been discovered, with a third on the way.
People all around the region are growing increasingly concerned as a result of the nature of the crimes and the local police's failure to apprehend the perpetrator, and certain segments of the local media are exacerbating the issue with inflammatory and provocative coverage.
Jack Sawyer has suppressed memories of his exploits in The Territories and his search for the Talisman as a twelve-year-old kid following the events of The Talisman; however, the residue of these events have served to subtly alter his life even after he has forgotten them.
Jack rose through the ranks of the Los Angeles Police Department to become a lieutenant, where his professionalism and remarkable talent have earned him a near-legendary reputation.
When a string of killings in Los Angeles is linked to a farm insurance salesman from French Landing, Wisconsin, Jack joins forces with the French Landing cops to apprehend the assailant.
Jack is magnetically enthralled by the natural splendor of the Coulee Country while in Wisconsin, recalling his childhood experience in The Territories.
Certain characteristics of the murder scene threaten to reawaken his suppressed recollections when he subsequently intrudes on a homicide investigation in Santa Monica.
He then resigns from the Los Angeles Police Department and relocates to French Landing to enjoy his early retirement.
When the Fisherman begins terrorizing French Landing, the police practically beg Jack Sawyer for help, and are taken aback when he coldly refuses.
The events of Santa Monica threaten to overwhelm Jack, and he thinks that becoming involved in the inquiry would cause him to lose his mind.
When the Fisherman kidnaps a fourth child, Jack's aloofness is no longer possible. The Fisherman swiftly reveals himself to be much more than a serial killer.
He is, in reality, a Crimson King agent tasked with locating youngsters who have the potential to serve as Breakers. Tyler Marshall, the fourth victim, is one of the most powerful Breakers ever, and he may be all the Crimson King needs to shatter the remaining Dark Tower beams and put an end to all worlds.
Because the Fisherman may also "flip" into The Territories, Jack Sawyer is not just the sole chance for French Landing, but for all of existence.
