Soon Kinsey's clues begin to form a capital M -- not for missing, but for murder: And plenty of it."

She was found dead on the beach seventeen years ago, and a rowdy ex-boyfriend named Bailey Fowler was convicted of her murder and imprisoned -- and then Bailey escaped. Now private eye Kinsey Milhone steps into a case that should never have closed, in a town where there's no such thing as a 'private' investigation."

"Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff's office-a tough, honest cop respected by everyone. When he died suddenly, the townsfolk were saddened but not surprised: Just shy of 65, Newquist worked too hard, smoked too much, and exercised too little. . . Newquist's widow didn't doubt the coroner's report. But what Selma couldn't accept was not knowing what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. . . . Selma Newquist wanted closure, and the only way she'd get it was if she found out what it was that had so bedeviled her husband. Kinsey should have dumped the case. It was vague and hopeless, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, she set up shop in Nota Lake, where she found that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood. Very likely, her own."
