Mr. Mercedes – Stephen King

A retired cop finds a new purpose when he is contacted by the perpetrator of one of his unsolved cases.  As his off-the-books investigation gets closer to finding its target, he finds himself, and those closest to him, in the crosshairs.  Can the cop and his collection of civilian helpers stop the perp before he turns a popular concert into a bloodbath?

Mr. Mercedes is the first entry in Stephen King’s Bill Hodges Trilogy and introduces readers to the Holly Gibney character that also popped up here and here.  This was more of a thriller than the horror King is usually known for, but it was still a thrilling ride.  I’ll be getting to the remaining two entries sooner rather than later.
