About this listen
In a high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from murdering thousands. “Mr. Mercedes is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses” (The Washington Post).
The stolen Mercedes emerges from the pre-dawn fog and plows through a crowd of men and women on line for a job fair in a distressed American city. Then the lone driver backs up, charges again, and speeds off, leaving eight dead and more wounded. The case goes unsolved and ex-cop Bill Hodges is out of hope when he gets a letter from a man who loved the feel of death under the Mercedes’s wheels…
Brady Hartsfield wants that rush again, but this time he’s going big, with an attack that would take down thousands—unless Hodges and two new unusual allies he picks up along the way can throw a wrench in Hartsfield’s diabolical plans. Stephen King takes off on a “nerve-shredding, pulse-pounding race against time” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) with this acclaimed #1 bestselling thriller.

Editorial Review
Mr. Mercedes is the tense and relentless story of an unhinged terrorist, a jaded retired police officer, and a race against time as both close in on their targets. Will the crazed lunatic carry out another act of deadly violence, or will the cop piece together the puzzle and stop him in time? Police officer Bill Hodges is preparing for retirement as the news comes in of a horrific act of violence – a terrorist has driven a Mercedes into a crowd of people at a job fair, leaving piles of bodies and countless injured in his wake. The killer disappears without a trace to plan his next attack, and officer Hodges settles into an uneasy and depressing retirement. That is, until he receives an unsettling and taunting letter from the self-proclaimed killer, signed, Mr. Mercedes. Narrator Will Patton adds his engaging and quietly gritty voice to this audiobook, taking the suspense and heating it up to a boiling point until it bubbles over in an action-packed and unpausable finale. His entrancing work landed him a finalist position in the 2015 Audie Awards for both fiction and solo narration – male. This electrifying thriller is the first detective story from the undisputed king of thrillers, suspense, and horror, Stephen King, and the first in a trilogy. It quickly gained international acclaim after being released in 2014, picking up the Goodreads Choice Award in the Mystery and Thriller category, and the 2015 Edgar Award for Best Novel. Soon after, it was adapted as a three-season crime drama television series.
