I have heard of an book called 'Rizpah'
(historical fiction), but haven't read it, so
don't know if it is any good...

BestBookBuys has some copies at low cost.

Consulting the on-line catalog of my public library[1], I find that it
has a copy; and (new catalog feature) a brief review mentions /The/
/David/ /Story/ by Robert Alter. Subtitle:a translation with commentary
of 1 and 2 Samuel.
