Summary
"When Alvin Limardo walks into PI Knsey Millhone's office, Kinsey smells bad news. Limardo wants Kinsey to deliver $25,000. The recipient: A fifteen-year-old boy. It's a simple matter. So simple that Kinsey wonders why Limardo doesn't deliver the money himself. She's almost certain something is off. But with rent due, Kinsey accepts limardo's retainer against her better judgement. When Limard's check bounces, Kinsey discovers she's been had big time. Alvin Limardo is really John Daggett--an ex-con with a drinking problem, two wives to boot, and a slew of people who would like to see him dead. Now Kinsey is out four hundred dollars and in hot pursuit of Daggett. When Daggett's corpse shows up floating in the Santa Teresa surf, the cops rule the death an accident. Kinsey thinks it's murder. But seeking justice for a man who everyone seemed to despise is going to be a lot tougher than she bargained for--and what awaits her at the end of the road is much more disturbing than she every could've imagined." --back cover.
