Synopsis
She's every lover's feisty girlfriend. She's every father's courageous daughter. She's every woman's tough, vulnerable, and spirited alter ego.She's Kinsey Millhone, familiar to millions of readers around the globe, and she's back in full stride in P is for Peril, her latest venture into the darker side of the human soul. Mordant, mocking, and deceptively low-key, hers is a voice we know we can trust, from a character we've come to love.Through fifteen novels, Sue Grafton has gone from strength to strength, never writing the same book twice. So it's no surprise that she has taken on new territory in her sixteenth, this time entering the world of noir. It's a world cast in shades of black amid shafts of steel and silver, a shadow land in which the mysterious disappearance of a prominent physician leads Kinsey into a danger-filled maze of duplicity and double-dealing as she taps into the intricacies of a cunning Medicare fraud.P is for Peril the novel in which Millhone stakes her life on a thin thread of intuition because the facts glint elusively out of reach and only guesses offer any shot at the truth."Unlike many detective series, Grafton's seems only to get better each time out," wrote Entertainment Weekly, and P is for Peril is a case in point. Pushing herself, reaching further with each new book, Sue Grafton delivers every time., She's every lover's feisty girlfriend. She's every father's courageous daughter.

- d***t (551)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe cd was a good price, in great condition as described and arrived quickly and packaged well. In reference to the actual Counting Crows "August and Everything After" album, I would recommend the cd. It has some good songs, and 1 classic song I recognized. I highly recommend this seller as they have good communication, & they are interested in giving quality products to the customer. This I know because a CD I ordered didn't meet their quality inspection, so they canceled & refunded the order.Counting Crows : August and Everything After CD (1994) (#381316224962)
