What is Holly About?
Holly Gibney is back, and she’s taking on a new case this time. In Holly, she is approached by a desperate mother seeking help finding her missing daughter. Holly, who is grieving the loss of her mother and dealing with a partner who has COVID-19, is hesitant to accept the case. However, something in the mother’s voice convinces her to take on the challenge.
As she investigates the case, Holly discovers that the girl’s disappearance may be linked to a pair of seemingly respectable and retired academics hiding an unspeakable secret in their basement. Holly must outsmart and outmaneuver the twisted professors with her formidable talents to bring the missing girl back home.
Official Plot Synopsis
“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 semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, which may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, patient, and ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.”
