The Outsider

A tense detective thriller where the mystical blends with the everyday: vivid myths and legends coexist with Texas wastelands, and a person you knew for decades can turn out to be a ruthless bloodthirsty monster.

In the park of a small town Flint City, the body of an eleven-year-old boy—brutally murdered—is found. All clues and witness statements point to one person: Terry Maitland. The coach of a youth baseball team, an English teacher, husband and father of two daughters—could he really be capable of such a thing?

And Terry has an ironclad alibi: at the time of the crime, he was in another city.

But how could the same person be in two places at once? Or has something appeared in the town—something that can take the shape of any person?

Police detective Ralph Anderson of Flint City and private investigator from the agency “Find and Save” Holly Gibney intend to find out the truth—whatever it costs them…

The old investigator died, but his case lives on—literally. And he, along with Holly Gibney, has an “agency,” “Find and Save.” While Scandinavian geniuses of detection are getting drunk, aging, and falling into suicidal depression, American ones are only getting healthier—if they survive, of course )). Holly has become significantly stronger mentally and professionally; she is investigating again—but now together with Bill, who hovers invisibly over her shoulder. It’s a murder with an obvious mystical twist.

And the cycle is clearly planned to continue. What else do you want? Franchise time… and it’s good when the series is written by a master. New meetings with old acquaintances—what else is needed? )) Only we need to decide on rebranding—don’t rename the entire series to “Holly Gibney.” Though, who knows…

And…
