Never Flinch – Stephen King

Things are happening in Buckeye City: a serial killer is leaving the names of jurors from an old trial on the bodies he leaves behind, a pro-choice activist is coming to town with a stalker in tow, and a popular singer is coming out of retirement to start a concert tour.  While the police deal with the serial killer, Holly is hired to act as a bodyguard for the activist and the Robinson siblings get involved with the concert.  The three come together when the serial killer kidnaps the activist and Barbara Robinson to close out his faux jury.  Can Holly rescue them before it is too late?

Stephen King returns with Never Flinch, the latest entry to feature Holly Gibney and the Finders Keepers detective agency.  This definitely falls more under the thriller category than King’s normal horror work, though the ending does hint that perhaps there is more going on than meets the eye.  If there is more to Holly’s story, I look forward to reading it.
