Never Flinch by Stephen King

When the police in the American town of Buckeye City receive a disturbing letter from a man threatening to kill fourteen people, it is supposed to be penance for the needless death of an innocent man. Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think about it. Is someone really planning such a crazy act of revenge? During the investigation, Izzy realizes that the writer of the letter is deadly serious, and turns to Holly Gibney for help.

Meanwhile, controversial and provocative women’s rights activist Kate McKay embarks on a tour of the American states. Lecture halls are filled with her supporters, but also with opponents. Someone who has a passion for women’s equality in her stomach attacks Kate and her events. Initially victimless, but as a stalker gains courage, Kate can no longer do without personal protection. Holly, who is hired to do this, has a hard time dealing with a stubborn boss and a determined opponent.
The two stories wind side by side, intertwine, and finally culminate in a chilling but dazzling finale. Stephen King offers the reader a whole host of fascinating characters, both familiar and new, including gospel singer Sister Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder.
