Description
Finders Keepers is a crime novel by American writer Stephen King, published in June 2015. It is the second(volume) standalone novel in a trilogy focusing on Detective Bill Hodges, following Mr. Mercedes.
The book is about the murder of reclusive writer John Rothstein, his missing notebooks with the undone story, and the release of his killer from prison after 35 years. 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 conquering characters King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
"Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly enthralling story about a resentful reader. John Rothstein is an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is furious, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the non-conventionalist 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 without even reading it. Later, he gets arrested for another crime and locked up for 35 years. Decades later a teenaged boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges (detective), Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he is released from prison on parole.
Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life--for good, for bad, forever.
"Stephen King's superb new stay-up-all-night thriller, Finders Keepers, is a sly, often poignant tale of literary obsession that recalls the themes of his classic 1987 novel Misery...a love letter to the joys of reading and to American literature... wonderful, scary, moving."-- Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post
