Two threads. The Buckeye City police receive a letter promising to kill thirteen innocents and one guilty person to atone for a man who died in prison for a crime he did not commit, and Detective Izzy Jaynes brings in Holly Gibney. At the same time, Holly is hired to guard Kate McKay, a women’s rights speaker on a multi-state tour whose events are being sabotaged by someone whose anger keeps escalating.
Hardcover, 448 pages, from Scribner, published May 2025. Holly Gibney readers will know Izzy and Jerome; the rest of the cast is new.
It is a crime novel rather than horror, in the line of Mr. Mercedes and Holly.
