Book Review: Quirky private eye tracks a couple more killers in Stephen King's 'Never Flinch'
Stephen King's favorite private investigator returns in 'Never Flinch,' the sixth novel by King featuring Holly Gibney, who readers first met in the Bill Hodges trilogy ('Mr. Mercedes,' 'Finders Keepers,' 'End of Watch') and who then helped solved the murders at the heart of 'The Outsider' and 'Holly.'
In 'Never Flinch,' Holly cracks two more cases, one as the lead security escort for a polarizing author touring the nation to talk about women's reproductive freedom, and the other back home in Ohio, as a serial killer preys on jurors following a miscarriage of justice.

Diddy trial live updates: Ex-assistant Mia continues testimony in Sean Combs's sex-trafficking case
Sean 'Diddy' Combs could be sent to prison for life if convicted at his trial on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, which started May 5 in New York. You might remember Sean Combs's effort to make voting 'sexy' in 2004. This was back when the Iraq War was raging, John F. Kerry was challenging incumbent George W. Bush for the presidency, and people still called Combs 'P. Diddy.' His 'Vote or Die!' campaign was billed as a historic project to increase the hip-hop-adjacent youth vote, pulling in the likes of Russell Simmons, 50 Cent and MTV in various capacities. 'I'm trying to light the spark and start the flame,' Combs was quoted as saying.
