Publisher Description

Winner of the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award

2016 Audie Award Finalist for Best Male Narrator

The second book in Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy (Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch)—now an AT&T Audience Original Series!

Stephen King’s superb stay-up-all-night thriller is a sly tale of literary obsession that recalls the themes of his classic 1987 novel Misery” (The Washington Post)—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kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein’s unpublished work...including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel.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—the money and the manuscripts no one but Gold ever saw—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, filled with “nail biting suspense that’s the hallmark of [his] best work” (Publishers Weekly).

"Finders Keepers, part of the Mr. Mercedes series, is the only series that I have listened to but not read yet. Will Patton has created these characters in my mind so fully, that if I ever do read the books, I just know it his version of them that I will see. I completed this series very quickly as I just couldn't put them down! With his tones and inflections, Will makes these stories come alive in the readers mind!"

Quotes

  • “The new book is so good, being at least mildly obsessed with it is understandable. The finest thing about it, however, is that the author has another story to tell before the finale of this excellent series.”

    — USA Today
  • “[Finders Keepers] is a classic race-against-time story, one that benefits from King’s superb patience and pacing.”

    — New York Times Book Review
  • “King’s superb new stay-up-all-night thriller, Finders Keepers, is a sly, often poignant tale…wonderful, scary, moving.”

    — Washington Post
  • “Narrator Will Patton takes the best Stephen King novel in years and turns it into an audio masterpiece. Patton sets the mood of greed, desperation, and frustration with an astounding delivery that does the work of a half-dozen actors. Switching vocal styles as easily as a chameleon changes color, Patton portrays an elderly author and the man who murders him over his treatment of one of his characters. Patton takes the listener on a journey of intrigue as a teenage boy finds the murdered writer’s unpublished works thirty-five years later—just as the killer is released from prison. Listeners may double check to see how many narrators are performing this work. But it’s just Patton, and he’s more than enough. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

    — AudioFile
  • “The narrative hums and roars along like a high-performance vehicle…a rip-snorting entertainment, one that also works as a sneaky-smart satire of literary criticism and how even the most attentive readers can often miss the whole point.”

    — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
  • “[A] taut thriller about the thin line separating fandom from fanaticism…[with] the nail-biting suspense that’s the hallmark of King’s best work…[and] a sharp closing twist.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Will appeal to anyone who enjoys suspense and action, or anyone who finds enlightenment in reading about the internal struggle between right and wrong.”

    " Never knew SK could still surprise me...after all these years, he can still come up with characters that are captivating, without necessarily having fangs or carving knives...The trilogy he dreamt up is really great. I was hooked from beginning to end. Kermit is one of my favorite people now… haven’t seen the TV program…not sure if that’s a good idea…! "
