Plenty of people in the picturesque town of Santa Teresa, California, wanted Laurence Fife, a ruthless divorce attorney, dead.  Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, who was convicted of the crime.

Now, eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killer her husband.  Kinsey must pursue a trail that's eight years old: one that leads from a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted; to a lawyer defensively loyal to his dead partner - and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for far too few skills.

This train will twist to include them all, with Kinsey following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she fins herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.

Elaine Boldt is missing, and her sister wants Kinsey Millhone to find her.

Seems like a routine job.  Boldt was last seen lavishly draped in a $12,000 lynx coat heading for Boca Raton.  She never got there.  But someone else had, and was camping out illegally in Mrs. Boldt's abode.  Now, things were beginning to seem a bit less routine - particularly when Kinsey is ordered to drop the investigation just as she discovers that days before Elaine Boldt "bolted", her next-door neighbor and bridge partner had been murdered.  Unfortunately, the killer is still at large . . . and looking for Kinsey!

Once again, Kinsey Millhone, the feisty and resourceful P.I. has taken on a case with a deadly twist.

Alvin Limardo hires Kinsey to deliver $25,000 to a fifteen-year-old kid.  Seems pretty straightforward - or it would have been in Limardo wasn't as phony as his retainer check: his past includes a criminal record and a reputation for shoddy deals.  Burned but determined, Kinsey tracks him down only to discover that someone else has gotten there first.  The deadbeat is now just plain dead.  Finding the killer will be a tough assignment, but maybe not as tough as making a stiff pay his debts.

"One can only marvel at Grafton's seemingly endless stock of adventurous and inventive plots and hope that a finite alphabet won't limit her to just 26 mysteries."
-Booklist


How do you prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder?

That's the task Kinsey Millhone is faced with when she takes on the case of Bailey Fowler.  These are the facts: Jean Timberlake, Bailey's girlfriend, was found dead on the sands of Floral Beach, California, seventeen years ago.  Bailey, drug addict and convicted felon, with no good alibi, was sent to the slammer - even though he swore he didn't do it.  After escaping less than a year before, he successfully disappeared until he was picked up on a fluke of mistaken identify.  Can Kinsey prevent him from being sent back to prison by finding the real killer?  And what kinds of deadly passions and murderous intentions will she stir up as she searches for the truth?


"Sue Grafton has created perhaps the most likable female private eye in the business."
--Boston Globe

Kinsey Millhone, P.I. is a 32-year-old, twice-divorced ex-cop with an irreverent, wise-cracking style reminiscent of Philip Marlowe - and a great pair of legs - who piles her trade in the small Southern Californian town of Santa Theresa.

Make no mistake about it, Kinsey Millhone is one tough cookie. When a routine insurance claim she's investigating turns into non-routine trouble - someone has put $5,000 in her usually not-too-flush checking account and made it look like she's on the take - Kinsey sets out to discover who has set her up and why.

The trail of evidence leads to the wealthy Wood family, which includes the three quirky sisters Olive, Ash, and Ebony. But she's not counting on the involvement of her long-departed ex-husband #2, who's gorgeous, seductive and also a junkie. And she's certainly not counting on murder . . .

Once again, Kinsey Millhone, America's favorite female P.I., embroils herself in a complex and entertaining Alphabet Murder Mystery.

When Wendell Jaffe, mastermind of a real-estate scam, disappeared at sea, nobody was found. Now, five years later, he's declared legally dead and California Fidelity has to pay up on his life insurance policy . . . to the tune of half a million dollars. Soon after, the tune slides off-key when Jaffe is spotted in Mexico - and Fidelity hires Kinsey Millhone to sort things out. Oddly enough, Kinsey's investigation of the con man's past triggers a surprising inquiry into her own family history,. And, as the two stories intertwine, our favorite P.I. finds herself facing dangerous consequences.

"G" is for Gumshoe. "G" is also for guilt and guile, greed and grief, and the grim reaper.

Three things happened to Kinsey Millhone on May 5th -- the day she turned 33: the reconstruction of her apartment was completed; she was hired by a Mrs. Clyde Gersh to bring her mother back from the Mojave desert; and she made one of the top slots on Tyrone Patty's hit list. Obviously, it would turn out to be a birthday to remember.

Santa Teresa's favorite P.I. is, once again, on a case at the heart of which is a long-buried betrayal -- and someone would like nothing better than to bury Kinsey along with it.
