Finders Keepers by Stephen King
Finders Keepers is Stephen King's spectacular crime thriller about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, for ever. 1978: Morris Bellamy is a reader so obsessed by America's iconic author John Rothstein that he is prepared to kill for a trove of notebooks containing at least one more unpublished novel. 2009: Pete Saubers, a boy whose father was brutally injured by a stolen Mercedes, discovers a buried trunk containing cash and Rothstein's notebooks. 2014: After thirty-five years in prison, Morris is up for parole. And he's hell-bent on recovering his treasure. Now it's up to retired detective Bill Hodges - running an investigative company called Finders Keepers with Holly Gibney - to rescue Pete from an ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris
