Overview
Protagonizada por el mismo trío dispar de héroes que Stephen King nos presentó en Mr. Mercedes llega ahora la continuación: Quien pierde paga, una obra maestra de la intriga sobre un lector cuya obsesión por un escritor va demasiado lejos.
«Despierta, genio».
Así comienza la fascinante novela de Stephen King sobre un lector fanático. El genio es John Rothstein, un autor de culto, creador del personaje de Jimmy Gold. Morris Bellamy está fuera de sí, no solo porque Rothstein haya dejado de escribir, sino también porque considera que el inconformista Jimmy Gold se ha vendido para dedicarse a la publicidad. Morris decide matar a Rothstein y vacía su caja fuerte para llevarse no solo todo el dinero sino además el verdadero tesoro: los cuadernos de notas de otra novela protagonizada por Jimmy Gold.
Morris lo esconde todo y al día siguiente acaba en la cárcel por otro crimen terrorífico. Décadas más tarde un chico llamado Pete Saubers encuentra el tesoro y ahora son él y su familia a quienes han de salvar Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney y Jerome Robinson del vengativo y trastornado Morris cuando salga de la cárcel tras treinta y cinco años encerrado.
Quien pierde paga es un thriller absorbente, de ritmo vertiginoso, pero también es un libro sobre cómo la literatura puede moldear una vida para bien, para mal, para siempre.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The second book in Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy (Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch)—now an AT&T Audience Original Series!
“Stephen King’s superb stay-up-all-night thriller is a sly tale of literary obsession that recalls the themes of his classic 1987 novel Misery” (The Washington Post)—the #1 New York Times bestseller about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
“Wake up, genius.” So announces deranged fan Morris Bellamy to iconic author John Rothstein, who once created the famous character Jimmy Gold and hasn’t released anything since. Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein’s unpublished work...including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away—the money and the manuscripts no one but Gold ever saw—before being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris’s release thirty-five years later, he’s about to discover that teenager Pete Saubers has already found the stolen treasure—and no one but former police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance...
Not since Misery has Stephen King played with the notion of a reader and murderous obsession, filled with “nail biting suspense that’s the hallmark of [his] best work” (Publishers Weekly).
