"When Kinsey Millhone agrees to do a favor for Henry Pitts, her lovable octogenarian landlord, she literally gets taken for the ride of her life. The family of a recently deceased WWII veteran wants her to find out why the military has no record of his service. All Kinsey has to do, she thinks, is cut through some government red tape. But when the dead man's house is ransacked and his old army buddy is beaten up, she quickly realizes he was not all he seemed. Before long Kinsey is trailing crooks halfway across the country, impersonating a hotel maid, tangling with a baseball bat-wielding grandmother, and running from one very dangerous character. With her money almost gone and her nerves frayed, Kinsey's got to solve a decades-old crime and make it back home in time for Henry's wedding, if she can make it back at all.. Book.

"L" is for Lawless: Call it Kinsey Millhone in bad company.Call it a mystery without a murder,a treasure hunt without a map,a quest novel with truly mixed-up motives.Call it the return of Kinsey as bad girl - quick-witted and quicksilvery,smart-mouthed and smartalecky-poking her nose into everyone's dirty laundry as she joins up with a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde in an Our Gang comedy that will take her halfway across the country and leave her with a major headache and an empty bank balance.
Sue Taylor Grafton (b. 24th April,1940 – d. 28th December, 2017) was an American author of detective novels,best known as the author of the "alphabet series" ("A" Is for Alibi, etc.) featuring private investigator Kinsey Millhone in the fictional city of Santa Teresa, California.
Grafton had said that the alphabetical series would end with "Z" is for Zero,but she died before she could write it.Her daughter said Grafton would never allow a ghostwriter to write in her name and "as far as we in the family are concerned,the alphabet now ends at Y."
