About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. 400 pages. A Kinsey Millhone Mystery, No. 20. In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's <i>T is for Trespass</i> is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. 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. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties, <i>T is for Trespass</i> could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results. .
Synopsis
Sue Grafton lives in Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky. Most recently, she was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America.

I have read the whole series of books from A is for Alibi to the present. I enjoy reading about Kinsey Millhone's adventures as a PI. I used to live in Santa Barbara where the ficticious town of Santa Teresa is actually located. It is fun to take a jog down memory lane as Sue Grafton describes the streets and scenes that I can see so vividly in my memory. I will read these books until the last case that Kinsey investigates. Keep em coming Sue Grafton. I can't seem to get enough.
