A is for Alibi

Eight years ago, Nikki Fife was convicted of murdering her ruthless divorce attorney husband, Laurence Fife, a man with many enemies in the picturesque Southern California town of Santa Teresa. Now out on parole, Nikki maintains her innocence and hires private investigator Kinsey Millhone to uncover the truth. Kinsey, a twice-divorced, thirty-two-year-old PI with a no-nonsense attitude and a recent, unsettling encounter that left a man dead, takes on the seemingly impossible task of piecing together a cold case. As Kinsey delves into Fife's past, she uncovers a web of deceit, betrayal, and dark secrets, finding that plenty of people had reason to want him dead. But as she gets closer to the truth, Kinsey realizes that someone is desperate to keep the past buried, and she soon finds herself in grave danger, facing a chilling twist that even she didn't anticipate. 'A is for Alibi' is the gripping debut that introduces Kinsey Millhone, marking the beginning of Sue Grafton's iconic 'Alphabet' mystery series.
