Mr.Mercedes

In a high-stakes and suspenseful race against time, Stephen King's three unlikely heroes must try and stop a lone killer from detonating explosives that could result in mass casualties.

The prologue takes place in a Midwestern city, where hundreds of unemployed individuals are waiting in line at a job fair. Suddenly, a driver speeds through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, leaving eight dead and fifteen injured before fleeing the scene.

Months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still gripped by the unsolved crime. He receives a threatening letter from the killer, who identifies themselves as the "perk." Determined to prevent another tragedy, Hodges is reawakened from his depressive retirement.

The killer, Brady Hartsfield, lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He longs for the rush he experienced when he plowed through the crowd in the stolen Mercedes. Only Hodges and his unlikely allies can apprehend the killer before he strikes again, and they must act quickly as Hartsfield's next plan will result in mass casualties.

With insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer, Mr. Mercedes is a masterful depiction of the conflict between good and evil.
