I have to say, I'm not sure folks are right with where the "slick" bit comes from... I might be wrong (probably am!) but I'm sure it's featured in another story.... Just can't for the life of me think which one!
...you have the audacity to question US....US?!?!.....OK then:m_crazy:....(seriously, that novel was the first mention of same).....

Now if the killer had on Wellingtons, was carrying a 'brollie' and wore whatever the equivalent of a slicker is in England, then mustangclaire might have figured it out! :howdy::lurve:

Andy is not here so I can't ask him what they call "slickers" in the UK

Mr. King has used that phrase before, but the killer who refers to himself a slick is Frank Dodd in The Dead Zone. Remember,
Johnny gets him by following 'feelings' he has from the park gazebo, then puts 2 and 2 together and realizes it's the deputy
? I always remember him because he scared me so much.

As I recall he committed suicide rather messily using a sharp pair of scissors while wearing the rain slicker on the toilet. I just love happy endings.
