"My name is Kinsey Millhone and I'm a private detective. I'm thirty-two years old, and I live and work in Santa Terersa, in Southern California. A few days ago, I got shot - but I must tell the story from the beginning. On a fine morning early in June, I was in my office on State Street. It was just before nine o'clock. There was a knock at the door and a woman came in. She was in her late thirties. She was small, with shiny black hair and bright blue eyes. She was well dressed. "I'm Beverley Danziger," the woman said. "I'm hoping that you can find my sister for me." -- Cover.

"Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis went into the house. Inside the sitting-room, the light was still switched on and a gas fire was burning. The dead body of a young man was lying on the carpet, in front of the fire. Near the body, on a small table, stood a bottle of sherry and a wine glass. The bottle was almost full, the glass was almost empty. Morse smelt the sherry which was left in the glass. 'This smells like cyanide, Lewis,' he said. 'This man was probably poisoned.' " -- Cover.
