King Stephen - Capable Apprentice

Stephen King's audiobook The Capable Apprentice follows a highly moral youth named Darren who once discovers that his neighbor is a Nazi war criminal who is a fugitive. Darren decides to use this discovery to manipulate the old man and achieve personal benefits, but soon finds himself in a dangerous game, where his own dark desires and fears begin to manifest themselves.
