The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn&#8217;t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.<\/p>\n<p>Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Sauberg finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he&#8217;s released from prison after thirty-five years.<\/p>\n<p>Not since <i>Misery<\/i> has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. <i>Finders Keepers<\/i> is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life &#8211; for good, for bad, forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booktopia.com.au\/finders-keepers-stephen-king\/prod9781473698987.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Grab your copy of <em>Finders Keepers<\/em> here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for a twitter wrap from our favourite eccentric genius, Stephen King!
