Oh, no. Typos can be excused (sort of). This is continuity stuff - the writer forgot what he said about someone or some thing in a scene, and then contradicts the earlier statement in the same scene.
In one scene, someone knocks at the door of a guy named Truman, a backwoods meth cooker who happens to be "in his cowboy boots and boxer shorts and nothing else" when he opens the door. The visitor is a madwoman who imediately attacks him. With her maniacal grip squeezing into his throat and her ragged nails cutting into his flesh, "Truman's free hand found the grip of the Bowie knife tucked into his belt and pulled it loose."
Seriously?
The other error I found was a scene where a cops gets home late after a rough day. The cop "deposited her gunblet in the drawer, shut it, and clicked it locked again," then she crashed onto the bed with her uniform still on. She was slipping off to sleep, "and was almost there when her phone bugled at her from the utility belt laid across the ceder chest at the end of the bed."
This is bush league stuff. Sheesh, King and son. Get it together.
