Kinsey Millhone wonders just how private her investigation can be . . . </i>F is for Fugitive <p/>When Kinsey Millhone first arrives in Floral Beach, California, it's hard for her to picture the idyllic coastal town as the setting of a brutal murder. Seventeen years ago, the body of Jean Timberlake--a troubled teen who had a reputation with the boys--was found on the beach. Her boyfriend Bailey Fowler was convicted of her murder and imprisoned, but he escaped. <p/>After all this time, Bailey's finally been captured. Believing in his son's innocence, Bailey's father wants Kinsey to find Jean's real killer. But most of the residents in this tight-knit community are convinced Bailey strangled Jean. So why are they so reluctant to answer Kinsey's questions? If there's one thing Kinsey's got plenty of it's persistence. And that's exactly what it's going to take to crack the lid on this case. <p/>As Kinsey gets closer to solving Jean's murder, the more dirty little secrets she uncovers in a town where everyone has something to hide--and a killer will kill again to keep the past buried... <p/>A Is for Alibi<br>B Is for Burglar<br>C Is for Corpse<br>D Is for Deadbeat<br>E Is for Evidence<br>F Is for Fugitive<br>G Is for Gumshoe<br>H Is for Homicide<br>I Is for Innocent<br>J Is for Judgment<br>K Is for Killer<br>L is for Lawless<br>M Is for Malice<br>N Is for Noose<br>O Is for Outlaw<br>P Is for Peril <br>Q Is for Quarry<br>R Is for Ricochet <br>S Is for Silence <br>T Is for Trespass<br>U Is for Undertow <br>V Is for Vengeance <br>W Is for Wasted <br>X</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>#1 </i>New York Times<i> bestselling author Sue Grafton crafts a thriller set in a town so small that P.I.

Kinsey Millhone and her creator...are arguably the best of [the] distaff invaders of the hitherto sacrosanct turf of gumshoes." --<i>The Buffalo News</i> <p/>"Once a fan reads one of Grafton's alphabetically titled detective novels, he or she will not rest until all the others are found." --<i>Los Angeles Herald Examiner</i> <p/>"Millhone is a refreshingly strong and resourceful female private eye." --<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"Tough but compassionate...There is no one better than Kinsey Millhone." --<i>Best Sellers</i> <p/>"A woman we feel we know, a tough cookie with a soft center, a gregarious loner." --<i>Newsweek</i> <p/>"Lord, how I like this Kinsey Millhone...The best detective fiction I have read in years." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Smart, tough, and thorough...Kinsey Millhone is a pleasure." --<i>The Bloomsbury Review</i> <p/>"Kinsey is one of the most persuasive of the new female operatives...She's refreshingly free of gender clichés.
