Holly

Genudgivelse i paperback.I efteråret 1943 bliver den unavngivne fortæller venner med Holly Golightly. De lejer begge en lejlighed i en brun mustensbygning på Manhattan. Den unge Holly kommer oprindeligt fra landet, men har forandret sig og er blevet en del af Manhattans selskabsliv. Derfor har hun ikke noget job, men lever af, i håbet om at blive gift med en af dem, at hænge ud med velhavende mænd, som betaler for hende på dyre restauranter og giver hende penge og dyre gaver.

Glæd dig til et gensyn med den geniale og elskelige Holly Gibney, der bliver sat til at efterforske en række forsvindinger i en lille flække i Midtvesten. Da Penny Dahl ringer til detektivbureauet De Der Søger for at få hjælp til at finde sin forsvundne datter, er Holly Gibney ikke meget for at tage sagen. Hendes partner, Pete, har corona, hendes mor (med hvem hun havde en indviklet relation) er lige død, og Holly skulle egentlig være på orlov. Men noget i Penny Dahls desperate stemme gør det umuligt for Holly at afvise hende. Blot få gader fra Bonnie Dahls forsvindingssted bor professorerne Rodney og Emily Harris. De er indbegrebet af borgerlige dyder: De har giftet sig i livets efterår, de er fulde af hengivenhed over for hinanden, og de har begge en livslang akademikerkarriere bag sig. Men i kælderen under det polerede og velholdte hjem med bøger fra gulv til loft skjuler de en modbydelig sandhed, som muligvis er relateret til Bonnies forsvinden. Det bliver en vanskelig opgave at blotlægge den velbevarede hemmelighed, for Rodney og Emily er både kloge, tålmodige og nådesløse. Holly er en rædselsvækkende krimi om en privatdetektiv, som må sætte alle kræfter ind for at afsløre to forskruede menneskers gerninger.

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to uncover the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town. 'I could never let Holly Gibney go. 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' STEPHEN KING Bonnie Dahl is missing . . . Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is meant to be on leave. But she finds it impossible to turn down Bonnie's mother's desperate request for help. Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's abandoned bike. Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage secret in the basement of their book-lined home. Now Holly must summon all her formidable talents if she is to uncover the truth behind multiple disappearances in her Midwestern town. 'Holly Gibney has matured into one of [King's] most memorable creations - a resourceful private investigator . . . Truly chilling, it aptly demonstrates King's inimitable talent as a storyteller' Daily Mail

"Sometimes the universe throws you a rope." -- BILL HODGES 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 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 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.

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 semi-retired 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 they 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. "I could never let Holly Gibney go.
