V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton (English) Paperback Book

Description: V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton Includes an excerpt from W is for wasted. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A spiderweb of dangerous relationships lies at the heart of V is for Vengeance, Sue Graftons daring new Kinsey Millhone novel. A woman with a murky past who kills herself-or was it murder? A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt who thinks he can beat the system. A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring working for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods. A wandering husband, rich and ruthless. A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss. A private detective, Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose. And an elegant and powerful businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law- the magus at the center of the web. V- Victim. Violence. Vengeance. Author Biography New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton is published in 28 countries and 26 languages-including Estonian, Bulgarian, and Indonesian. Books in her alphabet series, begun in 1982, are international bestsellers with readership in the millions. And like Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, Robert Parker, and John D. MacDonald-the best of her breed-Sue Grafton has earned new respect for the mystery form. Her readers appreciate her buoyant style, her eye for detail, her deft hand with character, her acute social observances, and her abundant storytelling talents.Sue divides her time between Montecito, California and Louisville, Kentucky, where she was born and raised. She has three children and two grandchildren. Grafton has been married to Steve Humphrey for more than twenty years. She loves cats, gardens, and good cuisine. Review Praise for V is for Vengeance"Sure to satisfy."—USA Today"Central to the books appeal is not the hoodlums and their crimes—which are often fueled by alcohol or stupidity rather than the epic, high-stakes evil driving other crime books—but rather Kinsey herself...She is witty and weary and a lot of fun."—Los Angeles Times"Grafton exhibits the pace, form, and technique of a marathon champ in her latest."—The Kansas City Star"The author has hit a high mark with her latest offering, a complex tale of love, betrayal, ambition, and, of course, murder...The only bad thing: There are just four letters left in the alphabet."—Associated PressMore Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series"Im going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Graftons Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, 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 mans job...its Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. Shes smart, shes resourceful, and shes tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."—New York Times Book Review"The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."—Wall Street Journal"A superb storyteller."—Publishers Weekly"Graftons 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."—Kirkus Reviews"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."—Louisville Courier-Journal"[Graftons] ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."—Richmond Times-Dispatch Review Quote Praise for V is for Vengeance : "Sure to satisfy."- USA Today "Central to the books appeal is not the hoodlums and their crimes-which are often fueled by alcohol or stupidity rather than the epic, high-stakes evil driving other crime books-but rather Kinsey herself…She is witty and weary and a lot of fun."- Los Angeles Times "One of Kinsey Millhones best outings…must reading for Grafton fans."- The Globe and Mail (Canada) "Grafton exhibits the pace, form, and technique of a marathon champ in her latest."- The Kansas City Star "The author has hit a high mark with her latest offering, a complex tale of love, betrayal, ambition, and, of course, murder…The only bad thing: There are just four letters left in the alphabet."- The Associated Press "Terrific."- Booklist Excerpt from Book Table of Contents Title Page Copyright Page Dedication Acknowledgements Chapter 1 - BEFORE Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 - NORA Chapter 6 - DANTE Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 - NORA Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 - DANTE Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 - NORA Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 - DANTE Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 - NORA Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapter 29 - DANTE Chapter 30 Chapter 31 - DANTE Chapter 32 - AFTER ALSO BY SUE GRAFTON ALSO BY SUE GRAFTON Kinsey Millhone mysteries A is for Alibi B is for Burglar C is for Corpse D is for Deadbeat E is for Evidence F is for Fugitive G is for Gumshoe H is for Homicide I is for Innocent J is for Judgment K is for Killer L is for Lawless M is for Malice N is for Noose O is for Outlaw P is for Peril Q is for Quarry R is for Ricochet S is for Silence T is for Trespass U is for Undertow A MARIAN WOOD BOOK Published by G.
