Thriller writer Stephen King has a well-documented interest in reader-writer relationships.

Along with US novelist John Irving, King once pleaded with J.K. Rowling not to kill Harry Potter in her final book. In Finders Keepers, his latest book, he re-examines the same dynamic between writers and their avid readers that made him so attached to Harry Potter. With heart-pounding suspense, Finders Keepers tells a story about the changing literary bond between teenage reader Morris Bellamy and iconic writer Jimmy Gold, which reaches a dangerous climax.

This chilling story will keep your eyes glued to each and every page. "King continues to tweak the hardboiled genre in spectacular ways in Finders Keepers," said USA Today.
