Bill Hodges
Stephen King · 3 novels · 2014–2016
Stephen King's first venture into hard-boiled detective fiction, this trilogy follows retired police detective Bill Hodges as he's drawn back into the hunt for a mass-murderer who taunted him during the original, unsolved case. Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch move from a straightforward manhunt toward increasingly strange territory as King folds in more of his familiar supernatural instincts.
