Description
Recognized as one of the most anticipated books of 2025 by leading publications and literary communities, this gripping psychological thriller from Stephen King delivers a suspense-filled story that blends mystery, crime, and unforgettable characters.
The novel follows two seemingly separate storylines that gradually collide in dramatic fashion. At the center is fan-favorite investigator Holly Gibney, who returns alongside a compelling new cast in a tense tale of justice, obsession, and the darkness lurking beneath ordinary lives.
After the Buckeye City Police Department receives a chilling anonymous message promising the deaths of thirteen innocent people and one guilty individual as an act of revenge, Detective Izzy Jaynes is faced with an impossible case. Unsure whether the threat is genuine or the work of a disturbed mind, she turns to Holly Gibney, whose investigative instincts have solved the most baffling mysteries before.
At the same time, outspoken women’s rights advocate Kate McKay begins a nationwide speaking tour that sparks passionate support as well as fierce opposition. As intimidation campaigns escalate into increasingly dangerous attacks, Holly is hired to protect Kate. Guarding her proves far from simple, however, as Kate’s independent nature clashes with the growing determination of an enemy convinced that his violent mission is morally justified.
As the investigation unfolds, readers encounter a memorable ensemble of allies, suspects, and villains—including celebrated gospel performer Sista Bessie and a ruthless serial killer whose craving for murder makes him one of King’s most disturbing creations. With expertly woven suspense, shocking twists, and relentless tension, the parallel storylines race toward a powerful and unforgettable finale that showcases Stephen King’s signature mastery of psychological suspense.
