Review
------
King works his customary storytelling magic, unspooling the plot threads almost as quickly as readers can
turn the pages (Daily Mail on End of Watch)
Bill and Holly's decidedly down-to-earth detecting...makes the novel shine. I'd back these two anywhere (Guardian on End
of Watch)
...the book I'd pick off the pile at the airport this summer (Evening Standard on End of Watch)
Increasingly drenched with chilling spookiness. Exciting, elegant and poignant, it's a fitting finale to a brilliant
trilogy (Sunday Mirror on End of Watch)
Book Description

From the Inside Flap
--------------------
Retired Detective Bill Hodges now runs a two-person firm called Finders Keepers with his partner Holly
Gibney. They met in the wake of the 'Mercedes Massacre' when a queue of people was run down by the diabolical killer
Brady Hartsfield.
Brady is now confined to Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, in an unresponsive state. But all
is not what it seems: the evidence suggests that Brady is somehow awake, and in possession of deadly new powers that
allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room.
When Bill and Holly are called to a suicide scene with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into
their most dangerous case yet, one that will put their lives at risk, as well as those of Bill's heroic young friend
Jerome Robinson and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield is back, and planning revenge not just on Hodges and
his friends, but on an entire city.
The clock is ticking in unexpected ways ...
Both a stand-alone novel of heart-pounding suspense and a sublimely terrifying final episode in the Hodges trilogy, End
of Watch takes the series into a powerful new dimension.
