Kinsey Millhone Novel
Parnell Perkins, a claims adjustor for California Fidelity, met a tragic end when he was shot and left for dead in the parking lot outside the company's offices. The police believed it was a robbery gone wrong, but Kinsey Millhone, a colleague and occasional drinking companion of Perkins, suspected that the cops were dismissing the case too easily. Kinsey felt unsettled by the idea that Perkins' murderer was still at large.
Bibianna Diaz, fearing for her life, had gone into hiding in Santa Teresa, far from the Los Angeles barrio where Raymond Maldonado, a violent and unstable man with Tourette's syndrome, held sway. Bibianna had crossed Maldonado by running out on his wedding plans, and she knew she had to stay one step ahead of him. To buy time and distance, she decided to orchestrate an insurance scam, targeting California Fidelity, where Parnell Perkins's open files led Kinsey straight to Bibianna.
Unbeknownst to Bibianna, her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado, was also on her trail. With a lengthy criminal record and a hair-trigger temper, Maldonado was not someone to be trifled with. When he kidnapped Bibianna, Kinsey found herself unexpectedly caught up in the situation, forced to babysit both Bibianna and Maldonado's macho crew.
Kinsey Millhone's investigation into Parnell Perkins's murder and its connection to Bibianna's insurance scam had become a complex and perilous case. Sue Grafton's "H" is for Homicide once again showcases Kinsey Millhone as a tough but sensitive "knight" navigating the mean streets, in a witty and delightful venture into the world of low-life crime.
The "Alphabet" series, from "A" Is for Alibi to the latest installment, "X," has established Kinsey Millhone as a beloved character, praised for her resourcefulness, resilience, and fit to walk alongside her male literary predecessors. Grafton's storytelling has been lauded as a "heads-up delight" by the Detroit News, cementing her place as a master of the mystery genre.
