The nineteenth novel in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series, now with a stunning new look
The nineteenth novel in Sue Grafton's ever popular 'alphabet' series featuring PI Kinsey Millhone.
Just
after Independence Day in July 1953 Violet Sullivan, a local good time
girl living in Serena Station Southern California, drives off in her
brand new Chevy and is never seen again. Left behind is her young
daughter, Daisy, and Violet's impetuous husband, Foley, who had been
persuaded to buy his errant wife the car only days before . . .
Now, thirty-five years later, Daisy wants closure.
Reluctant
to open such an old cold case Kinsey Millhone agrees to spend five days
investigating, believing at first that Violet simply moved on to
pastures new. But very soon it becomes clear that a lot of people shared
a past with Violet, a past that some are still desperate to keep
hidden. And in a town as close-knit as Serena there aren't many places
to hide when things turn vicious . . .
