The twenty first novel in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series, now with a stunning new look
In 1960s Santa Teresa, California, a child is kidnapped and never returned . . .
When
the case is reopened after twenty years, a man - Michael Sutton -
contacts private detective Kinsey Millhone for help. He claims to have
recalled a strange and disturbing memory which just might provide the
key to the mystery. He may have stumbled across the kidnappers burying
Mary Claire Fitzhugh’s body . . .
But Michael’s account is
indistinct –he was only six years old at the time of the kidnapping; and
even members of his family try to discredit his evidence. But Kinsey is
certain there is something vital within Michael’s recollections. And
even when what is eventually unearthed isn’t what anyone expected, she
can’t quite let go of the case.
As Kinsey gradually brings to
light the stories of the protagonists involved in the tragedy, from
Country Club parents to their free-living, hippy children, the truth
finally begins to emerge. And while stepping back into the past, Kinsey
discovers more about her own history too . . .
