Hired by a preppy college dropout to discern the fate of a four-year-old girl who disappeared more than twenty years earlier, Kinsey Millhone investigates the young man's sketchy memories about a burial scene he believes he discovered at the age of six. - Findaway World Llc
Itâs April 1988, a month before Kinsey Millhoneâs thirty-eighth birthday, and sheâs alone in her office catching up on paperwork when a young man arrives unannounced. Â Michael Sutton is twenty-seven, an unemployed college dropout. More than two decades ago, a four-year-old girl disappeared, and a recent newspaper story about her kidnapping has triggered a flood of memories. Sutton now believes he stumbled on her lonely burial and could identify the killers if he saw them again. He wants Kinseyâs help in locating the grave and finding the men. Itâs way more than a long shot, but heâs persistent and willing to pay cash up front. Reluctantly, Kinsey agrees to give him one day of her time.
But it isnât long before she discovers Sutton has an uneasy relationship with the truth. In essence, heâs the boy who cried wolf. Is his story true, or simply one more in a long line of fabrications?
Moving effortlessly between the 1980s and the 1960s, and changing points of view as Kinsey pursues witnesses whose accounts often clash. Gradually, we come to see how everything connects in this twisting, complex, surprise-filled thriller. And as always, at the beating heart of her fiction is Kinsey Millhone, a sharp-tongued, observant loner who never forgets that under the thin veneer of civility is a roiling dark side to the soul. - Random House Digital
