2014br. Quando, in un corridoio di Westminster, Yvonne Carmichael incontra lo sguardo ipnotico di un uomo elegante, sicuro di sé, non sospetta che la sua vita sta per cambiare in modo radicale. A 52 anni, Yvonne è una donna attraente, una scienziata brillante nel campo della genetica, ha una bella casa, un buon marito, due figli adulti e una cerchia di amici fedeli. Ma in un istante decide di seguire lo sconosciuto nella cappella della cripta del parlamento, e di abbandonarsi con lui a una torrida seduta di sesso, senza parole, senza nomi, e pensa la donna senza seguito. Invece un seguito ci sarà: la relazione continua, clandestina, episodica, resa ancora più eccitante dal mistero che circonda la professione del bel seduttore. Il romanzo che leggiamo è la cronaca di quello che diventa presto passione, poi amore, e che Yvonne affida a tarda notte al file di un computer, rivolgendosi all'amante senza nome. L'idea di poter controllare la relazione adulterina e condurre una doppia vita sentimentale si rivela presto illusoria, perché l'uomo adora fare sesso nei luoghi più impensati, anche pubblici, per esempio in fondo a un vicolo accanto a un centro convegni dove Yvonne è attesa per una festa. Il collega che la vede comparire dal fondo di Apple Tree Yard aggiustandosi i vestiti, con il viso e gli occhi luminosi, capisce, la attira in una trappola e la violenta, aiutato dalla notevole quantità di cocktail ingeriti. Poi dà inizio a un vero e proprio stalking, terrorizzando la sua vittima, che ricorre all'aiuto...

2017br. In un gelido lunedì di gennaio, Bill Hodges si è alzato presto per andare dal medico. Il dolore lo assilla da un po' e ha deciso di sapere da dove viene. Ma evidentemente non è ancora arrivato il momento: mentre aspetta pazientemente il suo turno, infatti, Bill riceve la telefonata di un vecchio collega che chiede il suo aiuto, e quello della socia Holly Gibney. Ha pensato a loro perché l'apparente caso di omicidio-suicidio che si è trovato per le mani ha qualcosa di sconvolgente: le due vittime sono Martine Stover e sua madre. Martine era rimasta completamente paralizzata nel massacro della Mercedes del 2009. Il killer, Brady Hartsfield, sembra voler finire il lavoro iniziato sette anni prima dalla camera 217 dell'ospedale dove tutti pensavano che sopravvivesse in stato vegetativo. Mentre invece la diabolica mente dell'Assassino della Mercedes non solo è vigile, ma ha acquisito poteri inimmaginabili, tanto distruttivi da mettere in pericolo l'intera città. Ancora una volta, Bill Hodges e Holly Gibney devono trovare un modo per fermare il mostro dotato di forza sovrannaturale. E a Hodges non basteranno l'intelligenza e il cuore. In gioco, c'è la sua anima. Dopo «Mr. Mercedes» e «Chi perde paga», King ha scritto il capitolo conclusivo della sua trilogia poliziesca, nella quale l'autore, come ci ha ormai abituato, combina il suo senso della suspense con uno sguardo lucidissimo sulla fragilità umana. Dalla trilogia di Bill Hodges sarà tratta una miniserie TV diretta da Jack Bender.

2016ril. Il cielo è immenso sopra di lei ed è così blu da fare male. Janie stringe gli occhi per non rimanere accecata. Non è più abituata a tutta quella luce. Janie ha ventotto anni, ma gli ultimi dieci li ha trascorsi in prigione, in cella di isolamento. Proprio lei, ragazza bella e ricca di Beverly Hills, viziata reginetta del liceo. Accusata di aver ucciso sua madre Marion, una donna esigente con cui non aveva un bel rapporto. Perché Janie era un'adolescente ribelle e contestatrice e sua madre non faceva nulla per nascondere la delusione di non avere la figlia perfetta. Tutte le prove erano contro di lei. Dopo l'ennesima notte di baldoria, era stata trovata priva di sensi accanto al cadavere della madre. Le mani sporche di sangue e le sue impronte dappertutto.

2020br. Si chiamano Quincy, Samantha e Lisa. Tre ragazze molto diverse, che hanno una sola cosa in comune: sono le uniche sopravvissute a tre orribili massacri. Non si sono mai incontrate, ma la stampa le ha riunite sotto lo stesso nome: Final Girls. Sono passati dieci anni da quel weekend a Pine Cottage, dove Quincy e i suoi amici avrebbero festeggiato il compleanno di Janelle. Finché la vacanza non si è trasformata in un film horror: un uomo fa irruzione nella baita e ammazza tutti i presenti. Tutti tranne Quincy, che con il vestito rosso di sangue riesce miracolosamente a fuggire tra gli alberi, incrociando i fari dell'auto di un poliziotto. Adesso Quincy ha una vita normale, un fidanzato, un blog di cucina, ma soffre ancora di attacchi di panico e non ricorda quasi niente di quella notte, nemmeno la faccia del killer. Samantha invece si è nascosta chissà dove per sfuggire alla pressione dei media, mentre Lisa, vivace e brillante, ha scritto un libro, e la sua faccia compare su tutti i social. Così, quando la ragazza viene ritrovata con le vene tagliate, Quincy non può credere che si sia uccisa. E i dubbi aumentano quando alla sua porta ricompare all'improvviso Samantha: a cosa mira e cosa ha fatto in tutto questo tempo? Può veramente fidarsi di lei? Ora sono rimaste soltanto in due, e qualcuno sembra voler portare a termine ciò che ha iniziato molto tempo prima...
