Finders Keepers by Stephen King
5.0
This book, by Stephen King, is the second book in the Bill Hodges trilogy. In the first book Hodges (a retired detective) discovered who murdered 8 people by driving into a crowd, before getting away.
In this book, which indirectly focuses on the same incident (a character was present at the scene), a famous writer (a John Updike/JD Salinger type) is murdered, and the murderer returns to Hodge's town with the booty. The booty is discovered while the murderer is away, and the book boils down to a simple battle between the protagonist, aided by Hodges and his gang, and the murderer.
The book isn't... the most innovative mystery around (even if the idea of steeling manuscripts wasn't something I remember reading about before), but it rattles along at a good rate. If you like page turner mysteries, you'll likely enjoy this book.
