Something terrible has awakened in hospital room 217. Something lurking inside Brady Hartsfield, an obsessed maniac nicknamed Mister Mercedes. Although he is still unable to speak or move, his consciousness is awake.
But who can even imagine for a moment that a helpless criminal is behind the series of mysterious deaths that shook the city? Except retired cop Bill Hodges, who had dealings with Mr. Mercedes twice. There comes a moment when he realizes: The evil lurking in the depths of the consciousness of this monster has taken on a very special form.
