No one does big thrills and scares quite like Stephen King, and "Holly" marks the appearance of his oft-revisited character Holly Gibney. The Finders Keepers detective agency is in Holly's capable hands, and despite her desire to take time off to grieve the loss of her mother, she can't turn away a desperate new client who claims her daughter is missing. Some snooping leads Holly to a seemingly perfect couple, Rodney and Emily Harris, respected professors who are more devious than they seem. Holly's investigation points her toward a disturbing secret harbored in the Harrises' basement, and the well-polished couple aren't going to let Holly expose them without a fight.
