<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs..."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Sue Grafton ups the ante for private investigator Kinsey Millhone like never before in this "taut, terrifying, transfixing"* #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling mystery in the Alphabet series.</b> <p/>Kinsey Millhone's elderly neighbor, Gus Vronsky, may have been the original inspiration for the term "Grumpy Gus." A miser and a hoarder, Gus is so crotchety that after he takes a bad fall, his only living relative is anxious to find someone to take care of him and get back home as soon as she can. <p/>To help, Kinsey runs a check on the applicant, Solana Rojas. Social security, driver's license, nursing certification: It all checks out. And it sounds like she did a good job for her former employers. So Kinsey gives her the thumbs-up, figuring Gus will be the ideal assignment for this diligent, experienced caregiver. <p/>And the real Solana Rojas was indeed an excellent caregiver. But the woman who has stolen her identity is not, and for her, Gus will be the ideal victim... <p/><b>"The best and strongest book in the series...Solana is one of the most evil, calculating characters Grafton has created."--*<i>USA Today</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>T is for Trespass</i></b> <p/>"Grafton, who consistently turns out grade-A novels, has outdone herself...chilling, poignant."--<i>Forbes</i> <p/>"As usual, Ms. Grafton mixes deadly serious topics, in this case identity theft and elder abuse, with offbeat Kinsey-esque humor."--<i>The Dallas Morning News</i> <p/>"[A] firecracker of a tale...The masterful last few chapters are among the most frightening and suspensful in the series."--<i>The Courrier-Journal <p/></i>"Gripping...one of the series' high points."--<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i><b>More Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series</b> <p/>"I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, <i>A Is For Alibi</i>, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."--<i>New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."--<i>Wall Street Journal <p/></i>"A superb storyteller."--<i><i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i></i>"Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre."--<i><i><i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i></i></i>"Grafton is a writer of many strengths--crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them--and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last."--<i><i><i><i>Louisville Courier-Journal <p/></i></i></i></i>"[Grafton's] ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."--<i><i><i><i><i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i></i></i></i></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <b>Sue Grafton</b> first introduced Kinsey Millhone in the Alphabet Series in 1982.
