Stephen King
Stephen King's "gem of a story" (Chicago Tribune) about a child with extraordinary psychic powers who is on the run from the government. A number-one national best seller.
Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson participated in a drug experiment run by a veiled government agency known as The Shop. One year later, they marry. Two years later, their little girl, Charlie, sets her teddy bear on fire by simply staring at it.
Now that Charlie is eight, she doesn't start fires anymore. Her parents have taught her to control her pyrokinesis, the ability to set anything - toys, clothes, even people - aflame. But The Shop knows about and wants this pigtailed "ultimate weapon". Shop agents set out to hunt down Charlie and her father in a ruthless chase that traverses the streets of New York and the backwoods of Vermont.
"Terrifying and gripping" (The Miami Herald) Firestarter is chilling proof that "Stephen King is superb" (Time).

A classic

The first half is a chase and the cat and mouse game between Andy, Charlie and the Shop agents is my favorite part of the book.
The second half is more of a psychological thriller with characters manipulating each other. Its all fairly interesting, but this section felt more sluggish, even though I did love the ending.
John Rainbird is one of Kings least appreciated great villains and I really loved how King goes so deep into detail with him in ways that pushes him past a generic bad guy and into a truly terrifying character.
A good read if you're looking for a pulpy thriller.
