Morris ist ein großer Fan des Autors John Rothstein. Aus Wut darüber, dass er seit Jahren nichts mehr geschrieben hat, bringt Morris ihn um und entwendet zahlreiche Notizbücher des Autors. Doch dann wandert Morris wegen eines anderen Verbrechens für Jahre ins Gefängnis. Nach seiner Entlassung muss er feststellen, dass jemand anders die Bücher gefunden hat ... Wake up, genius. So begins Kings instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasnt 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 hes 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 lifefor good, for bad, forever. (Verlagstext)
