Mr Mercedes Résumé

Mr Mercedes Stephen King

Now a major TV series starring Brendan Gleeson.

A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring Bill Hodges, a retired cop who is tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved.

Each starts to close in on the other in a mega-stakes race against time.
