Finders Keepers

A riveting crime thriller about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes too far, featuring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr Mercedes.

Finders Keepers is spectacular suspense, and it is King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, for ever. Not since Misery has King written with such visceral power about a reader with such a dangerous obsession.

Not since Misery has King written with such visceral power about a reader with such a dangerous obsession. Finders Keepers is spectacular suspense, and it is King writing about how literature shapes a life for good, for bad, for ever.
