Less interested in money, he wants to get his hands on rumored unpublished works written in notebooks that continue Jimmy’s story, and when he finds them, he ends up killing Rothstein as well as Curtis and Freddy. While Curtis and Freddy are solely interested in the cash that the writer has, Morrie is a fanatic who has long resented Rothstein because of the way he ended a trilogy of books centering on a character named Jimmy Gold. Going back to the year 1978 (31 years before Brady Hartsfield drove a Mercedes into a line at a jobs fair), the novel begins as Morrie and two associates, Curtis Rogers and Freddy Dow, break into the home of reclusive author John Rothstein.
