From master storyteller Stephen King comes a thrilling new novel with intertwining storylines -
one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission and another about a vigilante targeting a
feminist celebrity speaker - featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of
characters. When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a
person threatening to 'kill thirteen innocents and one guilty' in 'an act of atonement for the
needless death of an innocent man' Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are
fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the
investigation unfolds Izzy realises that the letter writer is deadly serious and she turns to
her friend Holly Gibney for help. Meanwhile controversial and outspoken women's rights
activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour drawing packed venues of both
fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate's message of female empowerment is
targeting her and disrupting her events. At first no one is hurt but the stalker is growing
bolder and Holly is hired to be Kate's bodyguard - a challenging task with a headstrong
employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and unhinged righteousness. Featuring a
riveting cast of characters both old and new including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie
and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder these twinned narratives converge in a
chilling and spectacular conclusion - a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could pull off.
Thrilling wildly fun and outrageously engrossing Never Flinch is one of King's richest and
most propulsive novels.
