About This Book

"Of the #1 New York Times-bestselling Kinsey Millhone series, NPR said, 'Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters.' Two dead bodies changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad.
