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.

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of June 2015: For those of you who spent part of last summer being thrilled by Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes, this worthy sequel arrives just in time for summer 2015. Of course you can read Finders Keepers on its own if you’re so-inclined—King takes time to introduce new characters and new crimes in the first half of the book before carting out some familiar faces from the past. The story begins with a murder (of an author) and a robbery (of the author’s notebooks, including at least one unpublished manuscript). The crimes will linger in your mind, but what might linger most is when King explores his obsessions with, well, obsessions: obsession with reading, obsession with writers, even the need to get revenge. The book is well-plotted, but there remains an organic feel to this series, like the characters are writing themselves to some extent. As a character in Finders Keepers puts it, “a good novelist does not create events, he watches them happen then writes down what he sees. A good novelist realizes he is a secretary, not God.” Amen. That's why we love you, Stephen King.--Chris Schluep
Review King has the popular novelist's gifts in spades - a flawless sense of pace, an ear for dialogue, an eye for the telling detail, a no-mess-no-fuss approach to characterisation -- Keith Miller Spectator An almost constant build of momentum, growing in pace and tension until it finally explodes... manages to thrill with every page Guardian A classic cat-and-mouse tale, this is King at his rip-roaring best Mail on Sunday Fantastic...In part a love letter to literature, this is vintage King - jaw droppingly brutal but full of heart and humanity. Roll on the last in the trilogy Sunday Mirror A remarkable display of storytelling. -- John Dugdale Sunday Times It's expertly plotted, a series of pieces falling into place with almost audible satisfaction as the author burns towards his suitably horrific climax. -- Alison Flood Observer This novel is slick, seamlessly crafted, shockingly gory and packed with suspense The Times MR MERCEDES was a terrific thriller, and now there's a sequel. I squeak with glee. -- Natalie Haynes Independent FINDERS KEEPERS is a first-rate crime thriller, but it's also to King's credit that, more than 40 years into his career, he continues to experiment, and his talent, curiosity, and generous, humane spirit show no signs of flagging. -- John Connolly Irish Independent Unlike John Rothstein it seems Stephen King is determined to publish everything he can write. If books such as the effortlessly exciting FINDERS KEEPERS are the result, we should all be grateful. Glasgow Herald Praise for MR MERCEDES: 'I challenge you not to read this book in one breathless sitting Guardian Stephen King might just be America's greatest living novelist ... THE BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR ... Recommended to crime buffs and King fans alike. Sunday Express A very remarkable and singular writer. He can catch dialogue, throw away an observation or mint a simile, sometimes, brilliantly ... Storytelling is everything - and by golly does he know how to carry the reader. Observer Expect page-turning suspense, jaw-dropping twists and all the addictive brilliance of a classic Stephen King. FHM Deserves to be ranked alongside King's masterpieces Daily Mail A thrilling cat-and-mouse game Irish Mail on Sunday

Both novels open with a grisly crime scene, but MR. MERCEDES is a straightforward detective/crime/mystery novel with the protagonist and his band of helpers trying to solve a case and prevent another, even larger disaster. FINDERS KEEPERS, on the other hand, is a powerful literary thriller.Hodges, Holly and Jerome—our heroes from the first book in this trilogy—don’t even enter the picture until a third of the way through, and Jerome doesn’t really feature in the story until it nears its conclusion.Instead we meet Morris and Pete—a terrifying villain and a young hero separated by four decades, but whose lives are destined to intersect because of their passion for the writings of John Rothstein.The opening third of the book is Stephen King at his absolute best—just pure, powerful, storytelling, with scenes that span four decades from Rothstein’s murder in the 1970s to the economic downturn in the 2000s and the MR. MERCEDES attack.With all the pieces in place, the final two-thirds of the book is pure thriller. There’s not a mystery for the reader to solve—you know full well who the bad guy is and what he is capable of—but King leaves you white-knuckled, hanging on to the edge of your seat as Pete desperately tries to save his family … and Hodges, Holly and Jerome desperately try to save Pete.One other thing … there are some chilling scenes with Hodges and Brady—the psychopath from MR. MERCEDES—that are perhaps setting up a more King-esque horror finale for the final book in this trilogy.Highly recommend this book: 5/5 stars.

Stephen King is such an excellent writer, and it was truly a joy to read. It was clear, came together well, made sense, and had a very appropriate ending with a few minor unexpected twists. The characters are well thought out, complete, and developed in a way that few authors can rival. Pace is excellent, and everything here happens for a reason - there are no loose ends or extraneous scenarios that leave you wondering "what was he trying to do here?". This is a thrill ride that is hard to put down.You do not need to have read the first book in this 'series', Mr Mercedes. King is a master storyteller, and the characters are so alive that you don't need the additional context.The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I felt that it was a bit too predictable. I found myself pretty much anticipating everything that happened ahead of time. Luckily, King is such a great writer that I looked forward to it. Still, I also enjoy surprises and not knowing what is going to happen.

Poddany FINDERS KEEPERSStephen King just keeps cranking them out and I love it!Since I am reviewer number 1,619 I will not go into great detail regarding this book. It is the sequel to MR. MERCEDES. I loved how King wove the characters from that novel right into this one, along with new and exciting characters. All of these characters are totally fleshed out and real. The plot is fast paced and exciting. This is supposedly going to be a trilogy and as for me -- I can't wait for installment number three!!!A crime is committed -- a family falls on hard times -- a buried treasure is found -- the past collides with the present -- and you are off and running on one of the most exciting reading adventures ever. There are plenty of twists and turns, surprises, and just a great story line. The ending left me with an eerie feeling and looking forward to the next book. How King can give me goose bumps with just one simple word is crazy and I love it.This book is highly recommended and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
