About This Item
Holly by Stephen King
Stephen King's Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly's gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodge'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 against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency, hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept 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 desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semiretired lifelong academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and the are ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.

Synopsis
Stephen King’s “Holly” marks the highly anticipated return of the beloved character Holly Gibney, known for her transformation from a shy recluse to a smart and tough detective. In this new novel, Holly finds herself facing unimaginably depraved adversaries as she takes on a case to locate a missing girl named Bonnie Dahl. Despite personal challenges and a reluctant state, Holly is drawn to the desperate pleas of Bonnie’s mother. The investigation leads Holly to the seemingly respectable Professors Rodney and Emily Harris, who hide a dark secret in the depths of their home. The couple appears ordinary, but their twisted actions may be connected to Bonnie’s disappearance. Uncovering their true nature proves to be a daunting task for Holly as the professors exhibit cunning, patience, and ruthlessness.
