    Midwest 2009. Un salon de l'emploi. Dans l'aube glacée, des centaine de chômeurs en quête d'un job font la queue. Soudain, une Mercedes rugissante fonce sur la foule, laissant dans son sillage huit morts et quinze blessés. Le chauffard, lui, s'est évanoui dans la brume avec sa voiture, sans laisser de traces. Un an plus tard. Bill Hodges, un flic à la retraite, reste obsédé par le massacre. Une lettre du tueur à la Mercedes va le sortir de la dépression et de l'ennui qui le guettent, le précipitant dans un redoutable jeu du chat et de la souris. Avec ce polar très noir, véritable plongée dans le cerveau d'un psychopathe qui ferait passer Norman Bates pour un enfant de choeur, Stephen King démontre une fois encore son époustouflant talent de conteur, qui s'affranchit des frontières et des genres.

    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.

    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).
