Now an AT&T Audience Original Series A masterful, intensely suspenseful
novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes much
too far--the #1 New York Times bestseller about the power of
storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes
Stephen King introduced in Mr. Mercedes."Wake up, genius." So announces
deranged fan Morris Bellamy to iconic author John Rothstein, who once
created the famous character Jimmy Gold and hasn't released anything
since. Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped
publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills
his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection
of notebooks containing John Rothstein's unpublished work...including at
least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away before
being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris's release
thirty-five years later, he's about to discover that teenager Pete
Saubers has already found the stolen treasure--and no one but former
police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly
Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance.... Not
since Misery has Stephen King played with the notion of a reader and
murderous obsession, in this #1 acclaimed bestseller filled with "nail
biting suspense that's the hallmark of [his] best work" (Publishers
Weekly).
