W is for wasted

"Of the #1 New York Times-bestselling Kinsey Millhone series, NPR said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." Two dead bodies changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey literally finds the key to his identity. "And just like that," she says, "the lid to Pandora's box flew open. It would take me another day before I understood how many imps had been freed, but for the moment, I was inordinately pleased with myself." In this multilayered tale, the surfaces seem clear, but the underpinnings are full of betrayals, misunderstandings, and outright murderous fraud. And Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised. W is for. wanderer. worthless. wronged. W is for wasted"--

  • "En un lapso de apenas seis semanas, en Santa Teresa aparecen los cad©Łveres de dos hombres. Al primero, un investigador privado de dudosa reputaci©đn llamado Pete Wolinski, lo hab©Ưan matado a tiros en lo que parec©Ưa un atraco de tr©Łgico final. El segundo, un sintecho fallecido por causas naturales, apareci©đ en la playa y no llevaba encima ning©ðn documento que acreditara su identidad; s©đlo le encontraron un papelito en el bolsillo del pantal©đn con el nombre y el n©ðmero de la detective privada Kinsey Millhone, a quien pidieron desde la oficina del coroner que se acercara a la morgue para intentar identificarlo. Sin embargo, a medida que la investigadora va adentr©Łndose en el misterio del muerto sin nombre, afloran algunas conexiones sumamente extra©łas entre las dos muertes. Kinsey tendr©Ł que desentra©łar la identidad del fallecido, y resolver as©Ư al menos uno de los enigmas... En este relato de m©ðltiples tramas, con sal-tos al pasado, las aguas parecen calmas en la superficie, pero las profundidades ocultan traiciones, malentendidos y fraudes de fatales consecuencias. Kinsey, muy a su pesar, se ver©Ł envuelta en una situaci©đn sumamente comprometida."
