The murderer and the two students are two sides of the same worshipful coin. Literary obsession is at the heart of this tale that stretches decades to the present day. Hodges becomes involved in a race against time to get to the young man before the murderous ex-con gets to him and his family. This threatens the high school student and his family. The murderer sets out to locate the manuscripts. After his parole decades later he finds that the hidden trunk was been discovered and hidden by a literary minded high school student who also worships the murdered author. Unexpectedly the author’s murderer is imprisoned for another crime before he can read any of the notebooks. That murder was committed by an outraged fan of the author who steals and then hides in a buried trunk hand written note books containing unpublished works of the author over which the murderer has been obsessing. This time the story focuses on ramifications of a decades-before murder of a great American author. I loved that book despite the complaints of many King fans that he ought to stay focused on horror or fantasy.įinders Keepers again pits Hodges against a killer. Mercedes, a grim but fascinating cat and mouse game that pitted retired cop Hodges and his retinue of misfit assistants against a sadistic killer. Finders Keepers is the second book crime novel by King in the “Bill Hodges“ trilogy.
