Grafton, Sue "L" is for Lawless
New York, New York, U.S.A. Henry Holt & Company 1995 0805019375 / 9780805019377 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $24.00 - 290 pages - Private eye Kinsey Millhone is back with her one-liners on tap, romping with a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde through an Our Gang-style comedy that takes her halfway across the country and ends up leaving her not only with a major headache but with an empty bank balance to boot! In Sue Grafton's twelfth foray into the alphabet of crime, Kinsey meets her duplicitous match in a couple of world-class prevaricators who quite literally take her for the ride of her life. Some of the scenes Ms. Grafton most enjoys writing are about the imperfections of her heroine. "I work to keep her flawed and inconsistent," she says. The flaws are, for many readers, a major part of Kinsey's charm. After all, who can resist a character who sometimes lies "just to keep up my skills"?

Grafton, Sue F Is for Fugitive: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery
Bantam Books 1990 0553284789 / 9780553284782 Mass Market Paperback Fine
Near-new condition - NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 308 pages plus prevues in back of book, to other Kinsey Millhone books. - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Bantam Edition ( May 1990 ) - ANNOTATION One of today's hottest mystery writers is back with the latest installment in her alphabet sleuth series. This multi- layered novel explores the explosive passions that reignite questions concerning the 17-year-old murder of a promiscuous teenage girl. FROM THE PUBLISHER "One can only marvel at Grafton's seemingly endless stock of adventurous and inventive plots and hope that a finite alphabet won't limit her to just 26 mysteries." -Booklist How do you prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder? That's the task Kinsey Millhone is faced with when she takes on the case of Bailey Fowler. These are the facts: Jean Timberlake, Bailey's girlfriend, was found dead on the sands of Floral Beach, California, seventeen years ago. Bailey, drug addict and convicted felon, with no good alibi, was sent to the slammer - even though he swore he didn't do it. After escaping less than a year before, he successfully disappeared until he was picked up on a fluke of mistaken identify. Can Kinsey prevent him from being sent back to prison by finding the real killer? And what kinds of deadly passions and murderous intentions will she stir up as she searches for the truth? "Sue Grafton has created perhaps the most likable female private eye in the business." —Boston Globe

Grafton, Sue J is for Judgment
Henry Holt and Company 1993 0805019359 / 9780805019353 Hardback Fine Fine
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Number line: 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 288 pages. "J" is for Jaffe: Wendell Jaffe, dead these past five years. Or so it seemed until his former insurance agent spotted him in the bar of a dusty little resort halfway between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. "In truth, the facts about Wendell Jaffe had nothing to do with my family history, but murder is seldom tidy and no one ever said revelations operate in a straight line. It was my investigation into the dead man's past that triggered the inquiry into my own, and in the end the two stories became difficult to separate." Five years ago, when Jaffe's thirty-five-foot Fuji ketch was found drifting off the Baja coast, it seemed a sure thing he'd gone overboard. The note he left behind admitted he was flat broke, his business bankrupt, his real estate gambit nothing but a huge Ponzi scheme about to collapse, with criminal indictment certain to follow. When the authorities soon after descended on his banks and his books, there was nothing left: Jaffe had stripped the lot. "Given my insatiable curiosity and my natural inclination to poke my nose in where it doesn't belong, it was odd to realize how little attention I'd paid to my own past. I'd simply accepted what I was told, constructing my personal mythology on the flimsiest of facts." But Jaffe wasn't quite without assets. There was the $500,000 life insurance policy made out to his wife and underwritten by California Fidelity. With no corpse to prove death, however, the insurance company was in no hurry to pay the claim. Dana Jaffe had to wait out the statutory five years until her missing husband could be declared legally dead. Just two months before Wendell Jaffe was sighted in that dusty resort bar, California Fidelity finally paid in full. Now they wanted the truth. And they were willing to hire Kinsey Millhone to dig it up. As Kinsey pushes deeper into the mystery surrounding Wendell Jaffe's pseudocide, she explores her own past, discovering that in family matters as in crime, sometimes it's better to reserve judgment. "J" is for judgment: the kind we're quick to make and often quicker to regret. "J" Is for Judgment: Kinsey Millhone's tenth excursion into the dark places of the heart where duplicity is the governing rule and murder the too-frequent result.

Grafton, Sue O Is for Outlaw
New York, New York, U.S.A. Henry Holt & Co 1999 0805059555 / 9780805059557 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $26.00 - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - 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. Though she's never been one for personal possessions, curiousity is a power force. 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 unsolved murder. It will put her life in the gravest peril. Through fourteen books, listeners have been fed short rations when it comes to Kinsey Millhone's past: a morsel here, a dollop there. We know about the aunt who raised her, the second husband who left her, the long-lost family up the California coast. But husband number one has remained a blip on the screen. Until now. "O" Is for Outlaw: a revealing excursion into Kindey's past.

Grafton, Sue R Is for Ricochet
Putnam Pub Group 2004 0399152288 / 9780399152283 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 352 pages. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 352 pages. "Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Nord Lafferty was already in his fifties when Reba was born, and he could deny her nothing. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn't there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institution for Women. Now, at thirty-two, she is about to be paroled, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence. Nord Lafferty wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers." "It seems a straightforward assignment for Kinsey: babysit Reba until she settles in, make sure she follows all the rules of her parole. Maybe all of a week's work. Nothing untoward - the woman seems remorseful and friendly. And the money is good." But life is never that simple, and Reba is out of prison less than twenty-four hours when one of her old crowd comes circling round.

Grafton, Sue T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Putnam Pub Group 2007 0399154485 / 9780399154485 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $26.95. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 387 pages. Synopsis: trespass 'tres-p s n: a transgression of law involving one’s obligations to God or to one’s neighbor; a violation of moral law; an offense; a sin Webster’s New International Dictionary (second edition, unabridged) In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton’s T is for Trespass is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the perspective of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing listeners to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private care-giving jobs. The true horror of this novel builds with excruciating tension as the listener foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The wrenching suspense lies in whether Kinsey Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. T is for Trespass dealing with issues of identity theft, elder abuse, betrayal of trust, and the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent targets an all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Grafton takes us into far darker territory than she has ever traversed, leaving us with a true sense of the horror embedded in the seeming ordinariness of the world we think we know. The result is terrifying. The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio "For all its familiar comforts, this is one sad, tough book." Biography: Grafton is a writer on a mission: Already two-thirds of the way into her series of alphabetic murder stories starring P. I. Kinsey Millhone, she aims to make it to the end. Millhone, who has her own bio on Grafton's web site, indeed seems to have taken on a life of her own. She is "human-sized," as Grafton says, a simple gal solving complex, irresistible murder cases.

Grafton, Sue (Editor) Writing Mysteries: A Handbook by the Mystery Writers of America
Writer's Digest Books 1992 0898795028 / 9780898795028 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
"Across the darkened basement something creaked, and I tightened my grip on the Colt Diamondback. I'm not usually timid, but my palm was sweaty. That worried me; if I had to shoot this thing, I didn't need it flailing around in my hand like the snake it was named for." Tough spot. And you love it. You're a sleuth in your soul and a writer at heart. You can't resist the lure of the lurid, the thrill of the chase, the artful turn of a word, and the battle of wits in solving crimes of the imaginary kind. Still, as you know, mystery fiction is a species all its own, and writing it can be a special type of puzzle. But this is a special book, a writer's conference of sorts. In this book, your partners in literary criminology are among today's top mystery authors. Through informal essays, they'll show you how the pieces fit. More than a score of writers are represented here: Warren Murphy and Molly Cochran reveal the perils and pleasures of collaboration; Sara Paretsky - creator of the V.I. Warshawski series - comments on the promise and problems of inventing a recurring character; Tony Hillerman argues against plot outlines; John Lutz writes of endings and suggests knowing where you're going before you set out. With this book, you'll learn how to make your stories more taut, more real, more immediate, and more fraught with tension. "I heard the triple-click of a revolver's hammer being thumbed back. I fired. And a split-second of muzzle-flash illuminated what had first bothered me about the neon sign buzzing in the midnight fog." The solutions are up to you. But now you're armed with all the clues you need to solve the mystery ... of how to write a mystery.
