Book description
‘My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a licensed private investigator . . .
thirty-two, twice divorced. I like being alone and I suspect that my
independence suits me better than it should . . .’
Kinsey met Bobby Callahan in the gym on Monday morning.
His story was hard to credit: a murderous assault by a tailgating car
on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon 400 feet below,
his Porsche a ruin, his best friend dead, and his memory severely
impaired. He was convinced someone was trying to kill him.
By Thursday, he was dead.
But Kinsey wasn’t going back on a deal. She had been hired to prevent a
murder. Now she was looking for the murderer . . .

tough cookie heroine’ Time Out
‘She has guts, humour, and conscience. . . alphabetically speaking, we
can look forward to 23 more Kinseys’ The Times
