Through his stellar career, Stephen King has brought us “constant readers” numerous unforgettable notation but one of the most minion in recent memory is Holly Gibney – first showing up in the MR. MERCEDES trilogy, then surprising us all with her visitation in THE OUTSIDER, and we last heard from her in IF IT BLEEDS and by that point, she had won the hearts of King fans everywhere. As I have previously reported, this fall she’ll be getting her own tale in HOLLY – and we now know it will hit shelves in September.
From the printing release:
About the Book:
Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth overdue multiple disappearances in a midwestern town.
“Sometimes the universe throws you a rope.” — BILL HODGES
Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of minion King weft Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but moreover unflinching and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up versus a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective organ hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to winnow the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl’s drastic voice makes it untellable for Holly to turn her down.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of unprogressive respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly untellable to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this spooky new masterwork from Stephen King.
“I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on weft in Mr. Mercedes and she just kind of stole the typesetting and stole my heart. Holly is all her.” — STEPHEN KING
