Kinsey avrebbe dovuto fare inversione e tornare a casa. Invece finisce per cacciarsi in un caso molto pericoloso. Tom Newquist era un poliziotto di Nota Lake, Nevada, un uomo forte e onesto. La sua improvvisa morte per infarto non stupisce nessuno: a sessantré anni lavorava troppo. Ma cosa turbava Tom nelle ultime settimane di vita? Dove andava ogni notte? Incaricata di trovare la risposta Kinsey Millhone ribalta la cittadina in cerca di indizi. Sotto la patina della tranquilla vita di campagna emerge un fosco vespaio di doppi giochi, conflitti di famiglia e misteriosi omicidi. Kinsey scopre presto che cercare un ago in un pagliaio può portare a spargimenti di sangue, soprattutto il suo.

Per prima cosa è comparso un misterioso bonifico di cinquemila dollari sul suo conto, poi è arrivata una telefonata al suo capo in cui viene accusata di essersi sempre lasciata comprare. Kinsey Millhobe, ex poliziotta ed investigatrice privata, è in trappola. Il suo lavoro, la licenza professionale, la sua stessa rispettabilità sono in gioco. Per non perdere tutto, Kinsey dovrà affrontare la più delicata e dolorosa delle sue indagini, scavando a fondo nel passato di una certa famiglia e inseguendo il filo criminoso che condurrà diritto alla porta di casa sua.

Paziente, metodica, sensibile e decisamente simpatica, Kinsey Millhone, «investigatrice privata con regolare licenza dello stato della California», fa parte della ristrettissima schiera dei grandi protagonisti della narrativa gialla. In questo romanzo, che ha segnato il suo sorprendente esordio, è alle prese con un caso che tutti vorrebbero dimenticare: l’assassinio di Laurence Fife. Un caso «vecchio» di otto anni, un omicidio passionale, una brutta faccenda chiusa per tutti. Per tutti tranne che per la moglie della vittima, Nikki Fife. Per la giuria non c’erano stati dubbi: Nikki aveva il movente, la possibilità e l’occasione, e la condannò. Ora Nikki è fuori sulla parola e ha un solo pensiero in mente: dimostrare la sua innocenza e scoprire la verità. E incarica Kinsey Millhone di farlo...

Il cinque maggio e Kinsey sta festeggiando il suo trentatreesimo compleanno. Fra i suoi regali c'è la telefonata di un detective, un collega che la mette in guardia: il suo nome è nella lista delle vittime designate di Mark Messinger, uno psicopatico ingaggiato da un ergastolano per vendicarsi di lei, che lo aveva arrestato. Ma l'investigatrice di Santa Monica ha altre cose per la testa: deve indagare sulla scomparsa di una bizzarra e arzilla ottantenne che vive sola in una roulotte nel deserto californiano del Mojave...

Rude e disincantata, ma dotata di una straordinaria carica umana e di una rara intelligenza pratica, Kinsey Millhone è una delle investigatrici più simpatiche e accattivanti apparse da molto tempo sulla scena del giallo. Questa volta, alle prese con la morte di Lorna Kepler, una ragazza che non sapeva resistere al fascino del pericolo, Kinsey si trova risucchiata nell'universo oscuro della prostituzione, dove il pericolo è sempre in agguato. Uno dei romanzi più tesi e avvincenti dell'"alfabeto del crimine" di Sue Grafton, autrice che sa unire magistralmente la grande tradizione del giallo all'inglese con l'azione e la ricostruzione di ambienti tipica dei thriller americani.

È giovane Bobby Callahan, e doveva anche essere un bel ragazzo, prima che un pauroso incidente d'auto lo riducesse in quello stato. Quell'incidente gli ha tolto quasi tutto: la giovinezza, la forza, la lucidità e il suo migliore amico. Bobby non ricorda più nulla ma sa che qualcuno voleva ucciderlo, forse per farlo tacere, forse per impedirgli di svelare qualcosa che ora non riesce più a ricordare... Alla disperata ricerca di qualche indizio, chiede aiuto a Kinsey Millhone. Dire di no a una richiesta del genere non è nello stile di Kinsey, che comincia a raccogliere informazioni, per un'indagine destinata a trasformarsi in pochissimo tempo in qualcosa di molto più pericoloso...

A collection of two Kinsey Milhone mysteries includes "E is for evidence," in which, when incriminating evidence planted by an unknown party indicates that private eye Kinsey Millhone is on the take, she desperately tries to exonerate herself.

A double dose of Sue Grafton and a realtreat. Two absolutely cracking books tokeep you reading until all hours. The onlydownside is you get to the end and wantmore. Fortunately there is more.

The third and fourth novels in the #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton: C Is for Corpse & D Is for Deadbeat. In "C" is for Corpse, Bobby Callahan approaches PI Kinsey Millhone with a far-fetched story: a murderous assault by a tailgating car on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon four hundred feet below, his Porsche a bare ruin, his best friend dead. Bobby, having suffered memory loss in the crash, claims someone had tried to kill him, but doesn't know who or why. And he's convinced Kinsey is the only one who can find out. In "D" is for Deadbeat, a man calling himself Alvin Limardo approaches Kinsey with a job that seems cut-and-dried: locate a kid who'd done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. It's only later, after he stiffs her for her retainer, that Kinsey finds out his name is actually John Dagget, and his an ex-con, inveterate liar, and now dead. Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies—but would any of them go as far as murder?

'M' is for malice...and malice kills. 'M' is for money. Lots of it. 'M' is for Malek Construction, the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California and which, uniquely, remains in family hands. 'M' is for the Malek family: four sons now nearing middle age who stand to inherit a fortune - four men with very different outlooks, temperaments and needs, linked only by blood and money. Eighteen years ago, one of them - angry, troubled and in trouble - went missing. 'M' is for Millhone, hired to trace that missing black sheep brother. 'M' is for memories, none of them happy. The bitter memories of an embattled family. Though Millhone suceeds in her search, this prodigal son will find no welcome at his family's table. And, in brutal consequence, 'M' is for murder...

The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y is for Yesterday begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate—and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state’s evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now, it’s 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents—until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That’s when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he’s not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find…

trespass \'trespes\ n: a transgression of law involving one's obligations to God or to one's neighbor; a violation of moral law; an offense; a sin-Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties, T is for Trespass could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results.

Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Nord Lafferty was already in his fifties when Reba was born, and he could deny her nothing. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn't there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institution for Women. Now, at thirty-two, she is about to be paroled, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence.

When the case is reopened after twenty years, a man - Michael Sutton - contacts private detective Kinsey Millhone for help.

And while stepping back into the past, Kinsey discovers more about her own history too . . .

2 cassettes / 3 hours Read by Judy Kaye Kinsey Millhone, the irreverent, wise-cracking P.I. with a style reminiscent of Philip Marlowe, is back in a high-stakes adventure. His name was Parnell Perkins and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjuster for California Fidelity. Then someone had come along and ended his career . . . permanently. To the cops, his death looked like a robber gone sour; to Kinsey Millhone, it looked strangely suspicious. Particularly when Bibianna Diaz's name surfaced in one of Perkins' files. It seems she had pulled an insurance scam, with California Fidelity as her mark. Now, Kinsey was after her. But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado. he had a rap sheet as long as his arm and an inability to take no for an answer.

While investigating the reappearance of the long-presumed-dead Wendell Jaffe, Kinsey Millhone uncovers some unpleasant truths about her own family in the process

"J" is for Jaffe: Wendell Jaffe, dead these past five years. Or so it seemed until his former insurance agent spotted him in the bar of a dusty little resort halfway between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. "In truth, the facts about Wendell Jaffe had nothing to do with my family history, but murder is seldom tidy and no one ever said revelations operate in a straight line. It was my investigation into the dead man's past that triggered the inquiry into my own, and in the end the two stories became difficult to separate." Five years ago, when Jaffe's thirty-five-foot Fuji ketch was found drifting off the Baja coast, it seemed a sure thing he'd gone overboard. The note he left behind admitted he was flat broke, his business bankrupt, his real estate gambit nothing but a huge Ponzi scheme about to collapse, with criminal indictment certain to follow. When the authorities soon after descended on his banks and his books, there was nothing left: Jaffe had stripped the lot. "Given my insatiable curiosity and my natural inclination to poke my nose in where it doesn't belong, it was odd to realize how little attention I'd paid to my own past. I'd simply accepted what I was told, constructing my personal mythology on the flimsiest of facts." But Jaffe wasn't quite without assets. There was the $500,000 life insurance policy made out to his wife and underwritten by California Fidelity. With no corpse to prove death, however, the insurance company was in no hurry to pay the claim. Dana Jaffe had to wait out the statutory five years until her missing husband could be declared legally dead. Just two months before Wendell Jaffe was sighted in that dusty resort bar, California Fidelity finally paid in full. Now they wanted the truth. And they were willing to hire Kinsey Millhone to dig it up. As Kinsey pushes deeper into the mystery surrounding Wendell Jaffe's pseudocide, she explores her own past, discovering that in family matters as in crime, sometimes it's better to reserve judgment. "J" is for judgment: the kind we're quick to make and often quicker to regret. "J" Is for Judgment : Kinsey Millhone's tenth excursion into the dark places of the heart where duplicity is the governing rule and murder the too-frequent result.

Každá z devíti povídek v úvodu knihy je klenotem detektivní fikce. Hrdinka Kinsey, která se objevila v převratné vlně detektivního románu, přestala být pouze oddanou parťačkou drsných detektivů a začala vyslovovat vlastní názory a postřehy. Její výmluvnost a ostrovtip si čtenáři zamilovali již od první knihy. Druhá část souboru, obsahující třináct povídek, byla napsána během deseti let po matčině smrti a představuje Kit Blueovou, mladší alter ego autorky. Tyto temné příběhy nesou spodní proud zármutku a tiché bolesti, reflektující rodinné ztráty a cestu od vzteku k odpuštění a lásce. Autorka se v minulosti zmínila o alkoholismu svých rodičů, což ovlivnilo její dětství a pocit volnosti, ale i citovou rozháranost. Sue Graftonová si hlídá své soukromí a její nynější otevřenost naznačuje vyrovnání se s minulostí. Přesto cítí rozpaky ohledně sdílení svého života, touží po možnosti přepsat svou minulost a odstranit slabá místa. Uvědomuje si, že zakrývání nepříjemností může vést k ztrátě dobrých vzpomínek. Minulost je komplexní a zkušenosti, které získala, měly svou cenu, s níž se ztotožňuje každý, kdo se odvážil ohlédnout za svým životem.
