Product Description
Plenty of people in the pictorial town of Santa Teresa, California, wanted Laurence Fife, a ruthless divorce attorney, dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and gorgeous wife, who was convicted of the crime.
Now, eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killer her spouse. Kinsey must pursue a trail that’s eight years ancient: one that leads from a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted; to a lawyer defensively loyal to his dead partner – and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for far too few skills.
This train will twist to include them all, with Kinsey following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she fins herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.

Just a brief comment on a glaring error that I was amazed establish its way past the editors. At one point, protagonist Kinsey Millhone makes a phone call and is answered by a receptionist who questions, “Who shall I say is calling?”. Grafton mentions how Millhone is regularly annoyed by this grammatical error, thinking it should be ‘Whom shall I say is calling?’. Ironically, the receptionist is right. ‘Who’ is right, not ‘whom’ because the pronoun it stands for is not the object of ’say’. The quickest way to see this is to consider a possible answer to the question with a pronoun that inflects–the answer would be ‘I shall say she is calling’ not ‘I shall say her is calling’. While yes, it could be argued that Grafton wanted to characterize her protagonist as being fussy yet misguided about proper speech, somehow I find it very hard to judge that the error is not Grafton’s own!
