Book description
'On the face of it, you wouldn't think there was any connection
between the murder of a dead man and the events that changes my
perceptions about my life...'
For Kinsey Millhone, the investigation started with a surprise visit
from an ex-colleague at California Fidelity - the company that had fired
her nine months previously.
Fives hours later she was on a plane to Mexico, hot on the trial of a
suicide who'd allegedly just come back to life. After a five year wait,
Wendell Jaffe's widow had finally succeeded in having the real estate
swindler declared dead, collecting half a million dollars for her pains.
Now it looks like a 'pseudocide' - and Kinsey's ready to risk everything
to get to the truth...
'Friendlishly clever...better than anything else that's currently on
offer.' Literary Review
