Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow pupil, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns in evidence for the state and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. ***Now it's 1989, and one of the perpetrators , Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents - until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Kinsey Millhone is up there with the giants of the private-eye genre--- Exhilarating (Times Literary Supplement) ***'Sue Grafton knows what she's doing - her clever but unpretentious mysteries reassure us that no lie is insignificant, no death inconsequential' - New York Times. (Quote and review quote taken from the front flap and the back panel of the dustwrapper respectively) ***'The Alphabet Series of novels begins with "A" Is for Alibi, published and set in 1982. "B" Is for Burglar, followed, then "C" Is for Corpse, each novel's title combining a letter with a word, except for "X". After the publication of "G" Is for Gumshoe, Grafton was able to quit her screen writing job and focus on her writing. Since the publication of "A" is for Alibi, a new episode was released each year or so. The name of each book was a source of speculation. In May 2009, Grafton told Media Bistro that she was "just trying to figure out how to get from "U" is for Undertow to "Z" Is for Zero" and that "just because she knows the endgame title for Z [.] doesn't mean she knows what V, W, X, and Y will be". Grafton said that the series would end with "Z" Is for Zero, but she died before she could begin writing it. Her daughter said Grafton would never allow a ghostwriter to write in her name and "as far as we in the family are concerned, the alphabet now ends at Y."'
