‘My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a private investigator,
licensed by the state of California. I’m thirty-two years old, twice
divorced, no kids. The day before yesterday I killed someone and the
fact weighs heavily on my mind . . .’
When Laurence Fife was
murdered, few cared. A slick divorce attorney with a reputation for
ruthlessness, Fife was also rumoured to be a slippery ladies’ man.
Plenty of people in the picturesque Southern California town of Santa
Teresa had reason to want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his
young and beautiful wife, Nikki. With motive, access and opportunity,
Nikki was their number one suspect. The Jury thought so too.
Eight
years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find
out who really killed her husband. But the trail has gone cold and there
is a chilling twist even Kinsey didn’t expect .
