Wake up, genius.
From Goodreads:

The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t 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 he’s released from prison after thirty-five years.

Finders Keepers by Stephen King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A really intriguing story with more to come. He is a master storyteller and it looks like the horror is coming in the next volume. All the Mr Mercedes crowd are there with wonderful interconnections and a lot of intertextualities that I need to follow up. It was interesting to read this one having used Audible for Mr Mercedes. Gave the characters more of a voice. Enjoy it’s good!
