Starring the same compelling trio of mismatched heroes Stephen King introduced in Mr. Mercedes (short-listed for the Edgar Award for best novel), a masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far

“Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly rivetting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famously beloved character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away in a high-security prison for a different crime. Decades later, a young teen named Pete Saubers, whose father was injured in the MR. MERCEDES killings, finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family whom Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he is released from prison after thirty-five-years and wants his money and his notebooks back.

Not since MISERY has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. FINDERS KEEPERS is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life – for good, for bad, forever.
