Though physically incapacitated, Brady Hartsfield has developed telekinetic and mind-control abilities through experimental drugs and begins a new wave of terror by manipulating others into committing suicide, starting with the survivors of his attack at the Civic Center. The police, unable or unwilling to do their own investigation, turn a blind eye as retired detective Bill Hodges follows the leads. As the body count rises, Hodges, facing his own terminal diagnosis, and his partner Holly Gibney must stop Brady’s deadly influence before it is too late.
The third and final installment of Stephen King’s Bill Hodges Trilogy, End of Watch, which won the Goodreads Choice Award for favorite mystery and thriller back in 2016, brings back the cat and mouse game between Brady Hartsfield and Bill Hodges that started in Mr. Mercedes. This was a good end for Hodges, though I can see why King decided to continue on with the Holly Gibney character. Speaking of which, her latest adventure was just released, so I should add that to the waitlist.
