(from the publisher): When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his
passing. A prominent divorce attorney with a reputation for
single-minded ruthlessness on behalf of his clients, Fife was also
rumored to be a dedicated philanderer. Plenty of people in the
picturesque southern California town of Santa Teresa had a reason to
want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful
wife, Nikki. With motive, access, and opportunity, Nikki was their
number-one suspect. The jury thought so, too.
Eight years later and out on parole, Niki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to
find out who really killed her late husband.
A trail that is eight years cold. A trail that reaches out to enfold a
bitter, wealthy, and foul-mouthed old woman and a young boy, born deaf,
whose memory cannot be trusted. A trail that leads to a lawyer
defensively loyal to a dead partner--and disarmingly attractive to
Millhone; to an ex-wife, brave, lucid, lovely--and still angry over
Fife's betrayal of her; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a
salary for too few skills--and too many debts left owing: The trail
twists to include them all, with Millhone following every turn until it
finally twists back on itself and she finds herself face-to-face with a
killer cunning enough to get away with murder.
