'Kinsey Millhone is up there with the giants of the private eye genre, as magnetic as Marlowe, as insouciant as Spencer...exhilarating stuff.' Times Literary Supplement
'On the face of it, you wouldn't think there was any connection between the murder of a dead man and the events that changes my perceptions about my life...' For Kinsey Millhone, the investigation started with a surprise visit from an ex-colleague at California Fidelity - the company that had fired her nine months previously. Fives hours later she was on a plane to Mexico, hot on the trial of a suicide who'd allegedly just come back to life. After a five year wait, Wendell Jaffe's widow had finally succeeded in having the real estate swindler declared dead, collecting half a million dollars for her pains. Now it looks like a 'pseudocide' - and Kinsey's ready to risk everything to get to the truth. 'Friendlishly clever...better than anything else that's currently on offer' - "Literary Review".
