Massacre and also save the life of Pete Saubers from the clutches of a nearderanged
Morris
Bellamy. While the main thread of the story revolves around Pete and Bellamy, it also delves
deep into the plot of Mr. Mercedes and the massacre which took the lives of eight innocent
people, maimed three, seriously injured twelve and caused minor injuries to seventeen others.
Finders Keepers by Stephen King begins in the year 1978 with the murder of a novelist at his
New Hampshire cabin by a diehard
admirer. The cloistered eightyyearold
novelist John
Rothstein found himself awake when the privacy of his cabin was invaded by an obsessed fan
Morris Bellamy and two accomplices. Not content with the cash available, Bellamy wants to
make sure if the rumoured sellout
of his favorite character Jimmy Gold in the next Rothstein
novel is true, and the ensuing melee proved disastrous.
Bellamy’s plans unraveled when he was arrested and sent to prison for thirtyfive
years for
another violent crime, but not before he stashed the loot away. A high school student Pete
Saubers, whose father Thomas Saubers was seriously injured in Mr. Mercedes, and whose
family is struggling to make both ends meet, found the buried treasure and sent the money to
his parents concealing his real identity while keeping the drafts of Rothstein’s novels. All hell
broke loose when Bellamy is released on parole in 2014 and discovered his treasures
missing. It is up to King’s likeable trio of Bill Hodges, Jerome Robinson and Holly Gibney to
keep Pete from harm’s way and protect his family.
Finders Keepers by Stephen King is an ambitious and wellcrafted
hardboiled
thriller which
can be read as a standalone
though it is the middle book of a trilogy. Its masterful pacing and
riveting plotting makes it a heart thumping read, intensely thrilling and absolutely gripping.
Author Stephen King as is his wont, delivers a novel that has stunned me by its shrewdness
and ability to sustain interest.
