End of Watch is a compelling and chilling suspense novel which sees retired detective Bill Hodges back on the trail of his nemesis, Brady Hartsfield, the criminal the press called The Mercedes Killer. Foiled in his attempt to commit a second mass murder, Hartsfield is confined to a hospital brain-injury unit in a seemingly unresponsive state. But all is not what it seems: Brady is able to influence both his physician and the hospital librarian to commit crimes in the outside world.

In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Something evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room.

Al detective retirado Hodges, que dirige una agencia de investigación privada con Holly, le diagnostican un cáncer de páncreas: le quedan meses de vida. En ese momento Hodges investiga una serie de suicidios recientes con un punto en común: todos los fallecidos tuvieron relación con Brady Hartsfield, el tristemente famoso Mercedes, que hace años planeó volar una sala de conciertos de rock llena de adolescentes.
