The seventeenth novel in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series, now with a stunning new look
She
was a 'Jane Doe', an unidentified white female whose decomposed body
was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell
to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had
little to go on, and after months of investigation, the murder remained
unsolved.
That was eighteen years ago. Now the two men who found
the body, both nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want
one last shot at the case . . . and they turn to Kinsey Millhone to help
them find closure.
But revisiting the past can be a dangerous
business, and what begins with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity
ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer.
Based on an unsolved
homicide that occured in 1969, Q is for Quarry and Grafton's interest in
the case have renewed police efforts. The body has been exhumed, and a
facial reconstruction made that appears in the last pages of the novel.
It is hoped that the photograph will trigger memories that may lead to a
positive identification.
