What this book is about
In the twenty-fourth installment of the Kinsey Millhone series, Kinsey is hired to track down a man who swindled an elderly woman. The case leads her to a mysterious woman named Teddy Xanakis and ultimately to a deeply dangerous sociopath. Grafton strips away the usual alphabet-mystery lightness to deliver one of the series' most genuinely chilling entries.
