A woman with a murky past who kills herself—or was it murder? A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt who thinks he can beat the system. A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring working for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods. A wandering husband, rich and ruthless. A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss. A private detective, Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose. And an elegant and powerful businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law: the magus at the center of the web. V: Victim. Violence. Vengeance.

About the Author: Sue Grafton first introduced Kinsey Millhone in the Alphabet Series in 1982 and since then, both writer and heroine have become icons. Ms. Grafton is a writer who consistently breaks the bonds of genre while never writing the same book twice. Ms. Grafton is also a fan of her work on audio, saying that she's "acquired hundreds of new converts to the books from people who hear them first on cd." She continued to say that audiobooks are a "wonderful form of literary cross-pollination and a great way to expand the audience for this series." Ms. Grafton lives in Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky.
