D is for Deadbeat is the fourth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton.
My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a private investigator . . . female, single and self-employed, with a constitutional inability to work for anyone else. I’m a purist when it comes to justice, but I’ll lie at the drop of a hat. Inconsistency has never troubled me . . .

In 1982, with the publication of A is for Alibi, Sue Grafton introduced us to private investigator Kinsey Millhone. Now, over thirty years later, Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a bestselling author.
Over the course of Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series – known as such for the letter-themed titles – readers have fallen for the novels’ singular detective. Driving a decrepit Volkswagen, cutting her own hair and living in what is ostensibly a garage, Kinsey has won over readers with her ingenuity, wit and dogged dedication to her cases.
Grafton intends for Kinsey to keep solving crimes on the Californian streets all the way up to Z.
