  • "It was one of those occasions when I suddenly realised how happy I was. I was female, single, with money in my pocket ...I had nobody to answer to and no ties to speak of. As usual I'd forgotten how surges of goodwill merely presage bad news. After a three-week-long investigation, Kinsey couldn't wait to get home. What she needed most was a few quiet days by herself -- but two things happened to change all her plans. First she ran into a murder case. Then Kinsey met Bibianna Diaz, and before the night was over they were sharing a prison cell ...'Terrifying, hilarious and rather touching ...S is for Super Sleuth in a scorching story' Daily Mail"@en

The story takes her into the Los Angeles barrio in pursuit of a violent criminal, into jails and hospitals, and into a grungy bar named the Meat Locker. ...

  • "His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjustor for California Fidelity. Then someone came along and put paid to that line of work. And to any other. Parnell Perkins had been shot at close range and left for dead in the parking lot outside California Fidelity's offices. To the cops, it looked like a robbery gone sour. To Kinsey Millhone, it looked like the cops were walking away from the case. She didn't like the idea that a colleague and sometime drinking companion had been murdered. Or the idea that his murderer was loose and on the prowl. It made her feel exposed. Vulnerable. Bibianna Diaz was afraid for her life. If there was one thing she knew for sure, it was that you didn't cross Raymond Maldonado and live to tell the tale. And Bibianna had well and truly crossed him, running out on his crazy wedding plans and going into hiding in Santa Teresa--light years away from the Los Angeles barrio that was home turf to Raymond and his gang. Now she needed money to buy time, to make sure she'd put enough space between them. And the quickest way she knew to get money was to work an insurance scam--just like the ones Raymond was running down in L.A. The trouble was, Bibianna picked California Fidelity as her mark. And it wasn't long before her name surfaced in one of Parnell Perkins's open files and Kinsey was on her case. But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado. He had a rap sheet as long as his arm, a hair-trigger temper that was best left untested, and an inability to take no for an answer. He also had Tourette's syndrome, which did nothing to smooth out the kinks in his erratic and often violent behavior. All in all, Raymond Maldonado was not someone to spend a lot of time hanging out with. Unfortunately for Kinsey, she didn't have a lot of choice in the mater. Not after the love-sick Raymond kidnapped Bibianna. Like it or not, Kinsey was stuck babysitting Bibianna along with Raymond and his macho crew. You might say she was a prisoner of love. It may be Kinsey Millhone's most complicated and risk-filled case. It certainly is Sue Grafton's wittiest venture into low-life crime. It's "H" is for HomicideLos Angeles Times."@en

Sin embargo, una noche, alguien le pegó un tiro que acabó con su vida. Kinsey había ido alguna vez de copas con Parnell y no le había parecido un mal tipo. Por otro lado, si dependiera de ella, no se habría metido en los líos en los que se empeña en arrastrarla una tal Bibianna Díaz, cuyo nombre figura en los archivos de Parnell y que al parecer sufre el acoso de un maníaco llamado Raymond Maldonado. Pero la vida nunca es tan simple y a Kinsey le molesta dejar sin más a un compañero en la cuneta y a un asesino suelto por el mundo.--Descripción de la editorial."
