PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
King cements PI Holly Gibney's status as one of the great contemporary detectives in this thrilling sequel to Holly. When a letter arrives at the Buckeye City Police Department proclaiming that "the INNOCENT should be punished for the needless DEATH of an innocent," detective Izzy Jaynes is rattled. Soon afterward, a series of random citizens turn up murdered, each of them clasping a paper printed with the names of unknown people, and Izzy pulls her friend Holly, of the Finders Keepers detective agency, onto the case. Meanwhile, as controversial feminist writer and speaker Kate McKay embarks on a national tour, she and her assistant are targeted for assassination by far-right extremists. When Holly is hired to be part of Kate's security team, her two cases intertwine, and she works with Izzy and Kate to bring the bloodshed to a halt. Holly shines as a quirky but lovable beacon of hope amid the plot's grisly violence, and King never lets his Rube Goldberg–esque plot overshadow his characters' humanity. Elegantly structured and sharply written, this moody mystery from the master of horror is a must-read.
