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. 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.
