Mr. Mercedes
436 Pages
Before dawn, a stolen Mercedes plows into a crowd of job seekers, killing eight and vanishing into the fog. The case goes cold. Until retired detective Bill Hodges gets a letter from someone claiming to be the driver. Bored, depressed, and edging toward suicide, Hodges suddenly has a reason to live: catching the killer before he strikes again.
Mr. Mercedes is a gritty, propulsive crime thriller. No supernatural twists, no monsters in the dark, just a deeply disturbed mind on a collision course with mass destruction. Itâs a game of cat and mouse, where both sides think theyâre in control.
King proves he doesnât need ghosts to be terrifying. Sometimes, the scariest thing is a man with a plan and nothing left to lose.
