- WINNER of the EDGAR AWARD for BEST NOVEL and #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In a high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from murdering thousands. Mr. Mercedes is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses (The Washington Post). The stolen Mercedes emerges from the pre-dawn fog and plows through a crowd of men and women on line for a job fair in a distressed American city. Then the lone driver backs up, charges again, and speeds off, leaving eight dead and more wounded. The case goes unsolved and ex-cop Bill Hodges is out of hope when he gets a letter from a man who loved the feel of death under the Mercedes's wheels... Brady Hartsfield wants that rush again, but this time he's going big, with an attack that would take down thousands--unless Hodges and two new unusual allies he picks up along the way can throw a wrench in Hartsfield's diabolical plans. Stephen King takes off on a nerve-shredding, pulse-pounding race against time (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) with this acclaimed #1 bestselling thriller.

Stephen King General Fiction Books Editorial Review
Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" is a thrilling and shocking novel that showcases King's mastery of character development and storytelling. The opening pages set the stage for a gripping and intense story, capturing the struggles of two individuals in an unstable economy. The book follows Detective Retired K. William Hodges as he encounters a real-life monster, Brady Hartsfield, who is responsible for a deadly attack. The novel is filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. The ending of the book is particularly satisfying and leaves readers breathless. King's ability to delve into the minds of his characters, especially the antagonist, adds depth and intensity to the story. The book also includes references to other works by King and his son, Joe Hill, adding to the overall reading experience. While some readers may find the story to be a change of pace for King, as it does not involve supernatural elements, "Mr. Mercedes" is praised for its captivating plot, well-developed characters, and suspenseful atmosphere. It is Considered one of King's best works and is highly recommended for both fans of his novels and newcomers.
