Sue Grafton

    24 april 1940 – 28 december 2017

    Sue Grafton was een wereldwijd gevierde auteur, vooral bekend om haar boeiende "alfabet-serie" met privédetective Kinsey Millhone in de hoofdrol. Voordat ze met deze serie breed succesvol werd, verfijnde ze haar verhalende vaardigheden door scenario's te schrijven voor televisiefilms. Haar werk kenmerkt zich door scherpe inzichten in de menselijke psychologie en de complexiteit van relaties. Grafton verzette zich sterk tegen verfilmingen van haar romans en stond nooit "ghostwriting" toe, een principe dat haar familie respecteerde, wat ertoe leidde dat de serie eindigde met de letter 'Y'.

      The third and fourth novels in the #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton: C Is for Corpse & D Is for Deadbeat. In "C" is for Corpse, Bobby Callahan approaches PI Kinsey Millhone with a far-fetched story: a murderous assault by a tailgating car on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon four hundred feet below, his Porsche a bare ruin, his best friend dead. Bobby, having suffered memory loss in the crash, claims someone had tried to kill him, but doesn't know who or why. And he's convinced Kinsey is the only one who can find out. In "D" is for Deadbeat, a man calling himself Alvin Limardo approaches Kinsey with a job that seems cut-and-dried: locate a kid who'd done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. It's only later, after he stiffs her for her retainer, that Kinsey finds out his name is actually John Dagget, and his an ex-con, inveterate liar, and now dead. Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies—but would any of them go as far as murder?

      'M' is for malice...and malice kills. 'M' is for money. Lots of it. 'M' is for Malek Construction, the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California and which, uniquely, remains in family hands. 'M' is for the Malek family: four sons now nearing middle age who stand to inherit a fortune - four men with very different outlooks, temperaments and needs, linked only by blood and money. Eighteen years ago, one of them - angry, troubled and in trouble - went missing. 'M' is for Millhone, hired to trace that missing black sheep brother. 'M' is for memories, none of them happy. The bitter memories of an embattled family. Though Millhone suceeds in her search, this prodigal son will find no welcome at his family's table. And, in brutal consequence, 'M' is for murder...
