Translated by: Majid Hamed

"Holly" is the gripping thriller novel where the master of suspense, Stephen King, brilliantly redefines crime and mystery fiction. Published in Arabic by Arab Scientific Publishers, the novel puts the spotlight on one of King's most beloved and compelling characters: private investigator Holly Gibney. In this chilling tale, Holly must face a depraved and unthinkable human evil hidden behind a facade of academic respectability, leading to a heart-pounding confrontation.

About this book

In his captivating thriller "Holly," Stephen King delivers a triumphant return of one of his most iconic characters, Holly Gibney, taking center stage on her own for the very first time. Published in Arabic by Arab Scientific Publishers, this novel offers a masterclass in psychological suspense and crime fiction, where Holly finds herself unable to ignore a desperate mother's plea to find her missing daughter.

Though she is supposed to be on leave, Holly's sharp intuition leads her to uncover a series of chilling disappearances in a quiet college town. The shocking truth? The monsters she is hunting are not supernatural entities, but rather a pair of respected, octogenarian professors who harbor a depraved, unimaginable secret in their basement.

King shines as he dissects the grim reality of human malice, beautifully juxtaposed against Holly’s deep internal struggles with her own anxieties and OCD. "Holly" is a relentless, fast-paced battle for truth and justice that shows King at his absolute narrative best.
