Get Behind The Wheel Of Stephen King’s New Novel MR. MERCEDES

With DOCTOR SLEEP still warm in the hands of King fans everywhere comes the news of his next novel. Titled MR. MERCEDES it will be hitting bookshelves and your online book sellers on June 3rd of 2014. A short seven months away!

King fans have known that this one was heading our way but what we didn’t know was what the hell it would be about. Problem solved, I’ve got the official synopsis for you and this one sounds like a winner.

In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands. In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy. Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.

No book art for you yet but hang around and I’ll throw it on here as soon as it’s in.
