What is the name of the abusive husband in Stephen King's 'Rose Madder'?

The abusive husband in Stephen King's Rose Madder is Norman Daniels. He is a police officer whose violence dominates Rosie Daniels's life and drives the novel's opening crisis.

In 1985, Norman brutally beats Rosie while she is four months pregnant, causing her to miscarry. Rosie remains with him for years because he is a police officer skilled at finding missing people and because she believes escape is impossible. Nine years later, a spot of blood on the bedsheet convinces her that staying could eventually cost her life, so she leaves and seeks help at a women's shelter.

Norman is more than a conventional jealous spouse: he uses his police knowledge to track Rosie across the country and becomes increasingly murderous. The novel's supernatural climax brings him into the painting's mythic world, where Rosie ultimately lures him to Rose Madder. Readers sometimes confuse Norman with Bill, the kind man Rosie later dates and marries, but Bill is her ally, not her abuser.
