Holly By Stephen King

Stephen King's "Holly" marks the return of one of his most captivating characters, Holly Gibney. First introduced in "Mr. Mercedes" as a shy but brave recluse, Holly has evolved into a skilled private detective. In this new novel, she faces her toughest challenge yet: solving the mystery behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.

When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency seeking help to find her missing daughter, Holly, despite being on leave and dealing with personal losses, feels compelled to take the case. Her investigation leads her to Professors Rodney and Emily Harris, seemingly respectable octogenarians with a dark secret hidden in their basement.

As Holly digs deeper, she must use all her wit and resourcefulness to outsmart the cunning and ruthless professors. Stephen King weaves a chilling tale of suspense, showcasing Holly's growth and determination. King's affection for Holly is clear as he crafts a narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, revealing the depths of human depravity and the resilience of the human spirit.

“I could never let Holly Gibney go,” King says. “She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr. Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.”
