In a desperate attempt to find some sort of happiness in his life, Edgar relocates to the Florida Island of Duma Key to try his hand as it were, at painting.
A horrific crash with a crane on a building site costs Edgar his right arm, his business and partly due to the uncontrollable rage resulting from Edgar’s brain injury, his marriage.
Middle aged Edgar Freemantle's life has suddenly taken a dramatic downturn. This is a shame, since Duma Key is certainly one of King’s better books, albeit one of this most subtle. Unlike Rose Madder, it doesn’t seem this is because it’s disliked, or even ignored, most reviews I’ve seen are positive, though perhaps not as effusive as with books like Under the Dome or The Stand. For some reason, Duma Key is another of Stephen King’s books which tends to get pushed to the side.
