2010brossura Incaricato di scegliere la location per un film di bulli e pupe, Pellam approda a Maddox, cittadina fluviale dello Stato del Missouri. Ma non fa in tempo ad ambientarsi che si ritrova per caso ad assistere a un regolamento di conti, proprio davanti al suo camper. Le vittime sono un criminale già noto alle autorità, una ragazza innocente e un poliziotto, il quale, più fortunato degli altri due, non finisce all'obitorio ma solo in ospedale. Sospettato di aver visto molto più di quanto non abbia fatto in realtà, Pellam diventa l'uomo più ricercato della Terra: dalla polizia locale che lo vuol far parlare, dall'FBI che gli vuole cavare un particolare nome, da una misteriosa bionda che lo vuole e basta, oltre che - ovviamente - dai criminali che lo vogliono eliminare per sempre. Per salvarsi, deve necessariamente trasformarsi da preda in cacciatore... Come "Sotto terra", "Fiume di sangue" contiene già tutti gli elementi che hanno reso celebre Deaver: un intrigante personaggio seriale, una trama gialla impeccabile con il famoso "meccanismo a orologeria" e un sorprendente colpo di scena finale.

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.
