In De eerlijke vinder heeft John Rothstein, een legendarische schrijver van een serie boeken, al decennialang niets gepubliceerd. Morris Bellamy is woedend. Niet alleen omdat Rothstein met schrijven is gestopt, maar ook omdat diens serie niet naar zijn smaak eindigde. Zijn woede gaat zo ver dat hij Rothstein vermoordt. Ook neemt hij een zak met cash weg uit de kluis en een stapel aantekenboekjes met ongepubliceerd materiaal. Die laatste blijken de hoofdprijs te zijn. Morris verbergt het geld en de aantekenboekjes – en wordt dan gearresteerd voor een andere misdaad. Decennia later vindt ene Peter Saubers de buit. Nu is het deze jongen, en diens familie, die door Bill Hodges, Holly en Jerome gered moeten worden van de inmiddels nog krankzinniger en wraakzuchtiger Morris, die na 35 jaar uit de gevangenis komt.
