Book description
‘My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a private investigator . . . female,
single and self-employed, with a constitutional inability to work for
anyone else. I’m a purist when it comes to justice, but I’ll lie at the
drop of a hat. Inconsistency has never troubled me . . .’
It was late October, the day before Halloween. He introduced himself as
Alvin Limardo. The job he hired Kinsey to do seemed easy enough . . .
until his cheque bounced. His real name was Dagett. John Dagett. Ex-con.
Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead.
The cops called it an accident - death by drowning. Kinsey wasn’t so
sure. The man, it seemed, had a lot of enemies . . .
