A predawn queue of hundreds of jobless men and women forms for the beginning of a job fair in a struggling American city. They are desperate, cold, and exhausted. A lone driver in a stolen Mercedes emerges from the fog, unseen until it's too late, and smashes through the throng, driving over innocent people, backing up, and charging again. Fifteen individuals are injured and eight people are killed. The murderer makes off.
Bill Hodges, an ex-cop who is still troubled by the unsolved tragedy, considers suicide some months later. Hodges awakens from his gloomy and empty retirement, determined to stop another much more evil act after receiving a crazy letter from "the perk" taking responsibility for the killings.
Brady Hartfield still lives in the home where he was born with his drunken mother. He cherished the sensation of death under the Mercedes' wheels and longs for that thrill once again. The only person who can stop the murderer before he attacks again is Bill Hodges, along with a few strange and mismatched friends. Brady's next operation, if it succeeds, will murder or maim hundreds, therefore they don't have time to waste.
The maestro of suspense, Mr. Mercedes, takes readers on a terrifying and fascinating journey inside the mind of an obsessive and mad murderer, pitting good against evil.
