Overview: Wake up, genius. So announces deranged fan Morris Bellamy to iconic author John Rothstein, who once created the famous character Jimmy Gold and hasn't released anything since. Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein's unpublished work - including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away before being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris's release thirty-five years later, he's about to discover that teenager Pete Saubers has already found the stolen treasure-and no one but former police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance.

But then the real owner of the trunk is released from jail and Pete's nightmare begins...

This novel didn't actually have that much Bill Hodges in it. PoVs were mostly split between Pete, Bill, and the villain Morris Bellamy.

It was pretty good. I really hope that the final book returns to Brad as villain because he was far …

It was pretty good. I really hope that the final book returns to Brad as villain because he was far more interesting than Morris. There was a bit of foreshadowing...
