O is for Outlaw - Hardcover

by Sue Grafton (Author)

The New York Times #1 Bestselling Series

The award-winning author's knockout series introduced detective Kinsey Millhone--and a hot new attitude--to crime fiction...

"Grafton keeps pulling out surprises- and pulling us in." --Entertainment Weekly on "O" is for Outlaw

Through fourteen books, fans have been fed short rations when it comes to Kinsey Millhone's past: a morsel here, a dollop there. We know of the aunt who raised her, the second husband who left her, the long-lost family up the California coast. But husband number one remained a blip on the screen until now.

O IS FOR OFFER
The call comes on a Monday morning from a guy who scavenges defaulted storage units at auction. Last week he bought a stack. They had stuff in them--Kinsey stuff. For thirty bucks, he'll sell her the lot. Kinsey's never been one for personal possessions, but curiosity wins out and she hands over a twenty (she may be curious but she loves a bargain). What she finds amid childhood memorabilia is an old undelivered letter.

O IS FOR OVER
It will force her to reexamine her beliefs about the breakup of that first marriage, about the honor of that first husband, about an old unsolved murder. It will put her life in the gravest peril.

O IS FOR OUTLAW
Kinsey's fifteenth adventure into the dark side of human nature.

The call comes on a Monday morning from a guy who scavenges defaulted storage units at auction. The weekend before, he'd bought a stack of cardboard boxes. In one, there was a collection of childhood memorabilia with Kinsey's name all over it. For thirty bucks, he was offering Kinsey the lot.

Though she's never been one for personal possessions, curiosity is a powerful force. She agrees to meet the guy, then hands over a twenty (she may be curious, but she's also cheap and she loves a bargain).

What she finds among the items is an old undelivered letter to her that will force her to reexamine her beliefs about the breakup of her first marriage . . . about the honor of her first husband...and about an old unsolved murder.

It will put her life in the gravest peril. "O" Is for Outlaw: Kinsey's fifteenth excursion into the dark side of human nature.

"O" Is for Outlaw: a revealing excursion into Kinsey's past.
