Now an AT&T Audience Original Series
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession
with a reclusive writer goes far too far--a book about the power of
storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King
introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
"Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a
vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who
created a famous 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 has
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 for
another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the
treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly
Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and
vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years.
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.
