Descriere K Is for Killer: A Kinsey Millhone Novel - Sue Grafton

With 600,000 copies in the first hardcover printing, K Is for Killeris the eleventh--and best--of Sue Grafton's novels. Launching into more than a simple mystery, Grafton takes readers deep into the dark heart of murder, where victims rise up to remind us that taking a life is no laughing matter. \n \nLorna Kepler was beautiful and willful, a loner who couldn't resist flirting with danger. Maybe that's what killed her. \n \nHer death had raised a host of tough questions. The cops suspected homicide, but they could find neither motive nor suspect. Even the means were mysterious: Lorna's body was so badly decomposed when it was discovered that they couldn't be certain she hadn't died of natural causes. In the way of overworked cops everywhere, the case was gradually shifted to the back burner and became another unsolved file. \n \nOnly Lorna's mother kept it alive, consumed by the certainty that somebody out there had gotten away with murder. \n \nIn the ten months since her daughter's death, Janice Kepler had joined a support group, trying to come to terms with her loss and her anger. It wasn't helping. And so, leaving a session one evening and noticing a light on in the offices of Millhone Investigations, she knocked on the door. \n \nIn answering that knock, Kinsey Millhone is pulled into the netherworld of unavenged murder, where only a pact with the devil will satisfy the restless ghosts of the victims and give release to the living they have left behind. \n \nEleven books into the series that has won her readers around the world, Sue Grafton takes a darkside turn, pitching us into a shadow land of pain and grief where killers still walk free, unaccused, unpunished, unrepentant. With K is for Killer she offers a tale that is dark, complex, and deeply disturbing. \n \nA Is for Alibi \nB Is for Burglar \nC Is for Corpse \nD Is for Deadbeat \nE Is for Evidence \nF Is for Fugitive \nG Is for Gumshoe \nH Is for Homicide \nI Is for Innocent \nJ Is for Judgment \nK Is for Killer \nL is for Lawless \nM Is for Malice \nN Is for Noose \nO Is for Outlaw \nP Is for Peril \nQ Is for Quarry \nR Is for Ricochet \nS Is for Silence \nT Is for Trespass \nU Is for Undertow \nV Is for Vengeance \nW Is for Wasted \nX\n
