On page 175 of the hard cover Mr. Mercedes, a sentence reads--regarding Hodges: "He leaves his house with no premonition that he won't be back." At first, this sentence leads the reader to believe that Hodges will not return to his house. However, Hodges continues to return to his house throughout the book. And if he's going to return to his house, why even mention that he had no premonition? This sentence is one of the funniest lines I've read in one of Mr. King's books.
