But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado. he had a rap sheet as long as his arm and an inability to take no for an answer.

    Nadie puede explicarse por qué Down Purcell, un reputado especialista en medicina geriátrica de Santa Teresa (California), lleva desaparecido desde hace nueve semanas. Purcell está aparentemente muy enamorado de Crystal, su segunda esposa, una ex bailarina de strip-tease. Pero lo curioso es que es Fiona, su primera esposa, quien contrata a Kinsey Millhone, convencida de que, en realidad, Purcell quería huir de Crystal. La detective no tarda en averiguar que hay otras posibilidades mucho más tétricas: ¿se ha esfumado Purcell para eludir alguna cuenta pendiente con la justicia?, ¿tiene algo que ver el millón de dólares que Fiona cobraría del seguro si fallece su ex marido? Durante la investigación, Kinsey conoce a uno de los hermanos Hevener, y se ilusiona pensando que puede haber novedades en su vida. Lo que ignora es que esas novedades son en realidad de muy distinta y amenazadora naturaleza...

    trespass \'trespes\ 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 voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers 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 caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties, T is for Trespass could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results.

    “An inventive plot and incisive character studies elevate MWA Grand Master Grafton’s twenty-fourth Kinsey Millhone novel...This superior outing will remind readers why this much-loved series will be missed as the end of the alphabet approaches.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) X: The number ten. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss... Perhaps Sue Grafton’s darkest and most chilling novel, X features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this deadly sociopath. The test is whether private investigator Kinsey Millhone can prove her case against him—before she becomes his next victim.

    Más de tres décadas después de que se publicara la primera novela protagonizada por Kinsey Millhone, cuando el Alfabeto del Crimen ha alcanzado un clamoroso éxito internacional, la investigadora privada debe resolver nueve casos. Impregnados por la vigorosa voz narrativa, el afiladísimo ingenio y las irreverentes observaciones que han cautivado a los lectores desde A de adulterio, estos relatos nos recuerdan el cambio sísmico que la irrupción de Millhone provocó en la novela policiaca: las mujeres dejaron de ser meras comparsas para convertirse en protagonistas con carácter y opiniones propias. Como colofón, trece breves relatos protagonizados por Kit Blue, una versión más joven de la propia Sue Grafton, en los que la escritora encara su pasado con emotividad: el resultado es un viaje desde su infancia en el seno de una familia problemática, marcada por el alcoholismo de la madre o la falta de supervisión durante la niñez de la propia Sue, en un ejercicio autobiográfico que pocos autores acometen.

    Každá z devíti povídek v úvodu knihy je klenotem detektivní fikce. Hrdinka Kinsey, která se objevila v převratné vlně detektivního románu, přestala být pouze oddanou parťačkou drsných detektivů a začala vyslovovat vlastní názory a postřehy. Její výmluvnost a ostrovtip si čtenáři zamilovali již od první knihy. Druhá část souboru, obsahující třináct povídek, byla napsána během deseti let po matčině smrti a představuje Kit Blueovou, mladší alter ego autorky. Tyto temné příběhy nesou spodní proud zármutku a tiché bolesti, reflektující rodinné ztráty a cestu od vzteku k odpuštění a lásce. Autorka se v minulosti zmínila o alkoholismu svých rodičů, což ovlivnilo její dětství a pocit volnosti, ale i citovou rozháranost. Sue Graftonová si hlídá své soukromí a její nynější otevřenost naznačuje vyrovnání se s minulostí. Přesto cítí rozpaky ohledně sdílení svého života, touží po možnosti přepsat svou minulost a odstranit slabá místa. Uvědomuje si, že zakrývání nepříjemností může vést k ztrátě dobrých vzpomínek. Minulost je komplexní a zkušenosti, které získala, měly svou cenu, s níž se ztotožňuje každý, kdo se odvážil ohlédnout za svým životem.
