What this book is about

The sixteenth Kinsey Millhone mystery finds Kinsey hired to find a doctor who has disappeared — a man whose clinic was under Medicare fraud investigation at the time. Grafton's procedural is characteristically methodical, with a subplot involving Kinsey's landlord Henry that deepens the personal side of the series.
