According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Mercedes (winner of the Edgar Award) and Finders Keepers-In End of Watch, the diabolical “Mercedes Killer” drives his enemies to suicide, and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don’t figure out a way to stop him, they’ll be victims themselves. The spectacular finale to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with Mr. 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. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. 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 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. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Only Bill Hodges, with two new, unusual allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again.

When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.īrady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. Eight people are killed fifteen are wounded. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Today Kim brings you a Sunday Series Review of the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King!
