Book description
It was the week before Thanksgiving when Kinsey Millhone first heard
the sad story of the late Johnny Lee, the World War II fighter pilot of
whom, rather mysteriously, the military authorities have no record. His
family are concerned - perhaps Kinsey could make a few calls, straighten
things out?
Then Johnny's apartment is ransacked. In the debris a hidden safe is
uncovered - and in that safe is a mysterious key marked LAWLESS.
That night Kinsey's on a plane to Dallas, at the start of a thrilling
rollercoaster ride through Texas and Kentucky on the trail of
long-buried treasure. Unfortunately there's a fire-raising psychopath on
her tail . . .
And she's going to be late for a very important wedding . . .
