Sue Grafton has become one of the most popular female writers, both in the UK and in the US. Born in Kentucky in 1940, she began her career as a TV scriptwriter before Kinsey Millhone and the 'alphabet' series took off. Two of the novels B is for Burglar and C is for Corpse won the first Anthony Awards for Best Novel. Sue wrote twenty-five novels in her alphabet series, the last was Y is for Yesterday, before her death in California in December 2017.T is for Trespass is the twentieth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton.
It was like being in the presence of a snake, first hissing its presence and then coiled in readiness. I didn’t dare turn my back or take my eyes off of her. I stood very still. I let go of my fight-or-flight defense and decided to play dead. If you run from a bear, it gives chase. That’s the nature of the beast. Likewise a snake. If I moved, she might strike.
When her elderly neighbour Gus has an accident, Kinsey Millhone is relieved when his niece organizes a nurse for him. Verifying a background check on Solana Rojas doesn’t turn up anything suspicious. But Kinsey’s not convinced – especially when Gus seems to be getting worse under his nurse’s tender care.
Realizing that her neighbourly concern isn’t going to get her past the front door Kinsey turns to more unorthodox methods to step up her investigation. And gets far more than she bargained for . . .
Not only is Solana not who she seems to be but she’s more than able to play Kinsey at her own game. Suddenly the tables have turned and it’s Kinsey who’s on the wrong side of the law . . .
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.
