Holly (Stephen King)

(Innbundet, som ny, NB: ENGELSK)

In July 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, private investigator Holly Gibney mourns the death of her mother, with whom she had a complicated and strained relationship. Despite taking a break from work, Holly is contacted by Penelope Dahl, whose daughter Bonnie disappeared earlier that month. Holly is intrigued by Penelope’s message and agrees to work on the case.

Holly learns that Bonnie was last seen at a convenience store near Deerfield Park before leaving on her bike. Her abandoned bike was later discovered with a note stating “I’ve had enough” attached to it. Holly also finds one of Bonnie’s earrings near her last known location. She interviews several leads, including Lakeisha, Bonnie’s best friend, who elaborates on Bonnie’s difficult relationship with her mother. Throughout her investigation, she also learns of a boy named Peter Steinman, and Ellen Craslow, a janitor at the local college, who both disappeared under similar circumstances. Holly suspects their disappearances may be connected.
