Description

Book 7 in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series from the New York Times bestselling author, Sue Grafton. "For the record, the name is Kinsey Millhone. Private investigator.

Three things happened on May 5, the day everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Kinsey Millhone. The repairs were completed on her apartment, and she moved back in. She was hired by Mrs Clyde Gersh to bring her mother back from the Mojave Desert. And lastly, a real surprise. The news that she'd made one of the top slots on Tyrone Patty's hit list...
