Bill Hodges, who now runs a two-person agency called Finders Keepers with partner Holly Gibney, is intrigued by the letter Z written with a marker at the scene of the crime. As similar cases mount up, Hodges is stunned to discover the evidence points to Brady Hartsfield, the notorious 'Mercedes Killer'. It should be impossible: Brady is confined to a hospital room in a seemingly unresponsive state. But Brady Hartsfield has lethal new powers. And he's planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends, but on an entire city. The clock is ticking in unexpected ways...
Thoughts
The final part of the Bill Hodges’ trilogy, and I enjoyed this far more than the previous one. The premise is a little bit hit and miss, but I really enjoyed the team being more involved than they were in the last one, and ultimately that we were getting to the grand finale. Big plots and plans were unravelled, and our heroes had to save the day. But it’s not like it was a happy ending. I know there are other books featuring some of the characters, so I can’t wait to read on because I loved this.
