Stephen King has been writing from an early age. When in school, he wrote stories based on movies he had seen recently and sold them to his friends. This was not popular among his teachers, and he was forced to return his profits when this was discovered. The stories were copied using a mimeo machine that his brother David used to copy a newspaper, Dave's Rag, which he self-published. Dave's Rag was about local events, and King would often contribute. Finders Keepers is the story of Morris Bellamy who murders the famous author John Rothstein and steals the work Rothstein has produced since his retirement from writing. Bill Hodges, a retired police detective, is called in to help Pete Saubers, the boy who found the trunk in which Morris hid the notebooks he stole from the famed author. Pete’s life, along with that of his sister, is in danger because Morris will stop at nothing to get back what he believes belongs to him. Morris confronted Rothstein about the direction in which the third Jimmy Gold novel took that character before Morris shot and killed Rothstein. Morris and his friends stole the money from Rothstein’s safe as well as more than 100 Moleskine notebooks that the writer had filled after his retirement. Fearing his friends would ruin his scheme, Morris killed them… You can listen online to free English audiobook “Finders Keepers” by Stephen King on our website.
