How do we know whether an individual is a good person or a bad person? Children like my five-year-old grandson know that there are heroes and villains -- interestingly, he chooses to be the villain in his fantasy play. But we adults know that there is more to "goodness" than a superficial title. And in "Billy Summers," Stephen King forces us to consider whether a hired killer can be a good person or must always be a villain by virtue of his profession.
