<p>A MURDER The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Caitlin is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of An Loch Dubh &ndash; the Black Loch &ndash; on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. A swimmer and canoeist, it is inconceivable that she could have drowned. A SECRET Fin Macleod left the island ten years earlier to escape its memories. When he learns that his married son Fionnlagh had been having a clandestine affair with the dead girl and is suspected of her murder, he and Marsaili return to try and clear his name. A RECKONING But nothing is as it seems, and the truth of the murder lies in a past that Fin would rather forget, and a tragedy at the cages of a salmon farm on East Loch Roag, where the tense climax of the story finds its resolution.</p>

<p><b>Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town.</b><br/><br/>Stephen King's HOLLY marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly's gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in <i>Mr Mercedes</i> to Bill Hodges's partner in <i>Finders Keepers</i> to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in <i>The Outsider</i>. In King's new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.<br/><br/>When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl's desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.<br/><br/>Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.<br/><br/>Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.<br/><br/><b>'I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in <i>Mr Mercedes </i>and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. <i>Holly </i>is all her.' STEPHEN KING </b></p>

<p>John Rebus spent his life as a detective putting Edinburgh&apos;s most deadly criminals behind bars. Now, he&apos;s joined them... As new allies and old enemies circle, and the days and nights bleed into each other, even the legendary detective struggles to keep his head. That is, until a murder at midnight in a locked cell presents a new mystery. They say old habits die hard... However, this is a case where the prisoners and the guards are all suspects, and everyone has something to hide. With no badge, no authority and no safety net, Rebus walks a tightrope - with his life on the line. But how do you find a killer in a place full of them?</p>

<p>Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. He agrees to represent a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy. Despite her conviction four years earlier, she still maintains her innocence. Haller enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, as investigator. Reviewing the case, Bosch sees something that doesn't add up, and a sheriff's department intent on bringing a quick search for justice in the killing of one of its own.<br/><br/>The path to justice for both the lawyer and his investigator is fraught with danger from those who don't want the case reopened. And they will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from uncovering what the deputy's killing was really about.<br/><br/><b>CRIME DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN CONNELLY:</b><br/><br/>'The pre-eminent detective novelist of his generation'<br/><b>IAN RANKIN</b><br/><br/>'The best mystery writer in the world'<br/><i><b>GQ</b></i><br/><br/>'A superb natural storyteller'<br/><b>LEE CHILD</b><br/><br/>'A master'<br/><b>STEPHEN KING<br/></b><br/>'America's greatest living crime writer'<br/><i><b>DAILY EXPRESS</b></i><br/><br/>'One of the great storytellers of crime fiction'<br/><i><b>SUNDAY TELEGRAPH</b></i></p>

<p>John Rebus stands accused: on trial for a crime that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Although it&apos;s not the first time the legendary detective has taken the law into his own hands, it might be the last. What drove a good man to cross the line? Or have times changed, and the rules with them? Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke faces Edinburgh&apos;s most explosive case in years, as a corrupt cop goes missing after claiming to harbour secrets that could sink the city&apos;s police force. But in this investigation, it seems all roads lead to Rebus - and Clarke&apos;s twin loyalties to the public and the police will be tested to their limit. A reckoning is coming - and John Rebus may be hearing the call for last orders...</p>
