Y is for Yesterday
Sue GraftonMacmillan, RRP $34.99, Trade Paperback
Sue Grafton is back with the twenty-fifth book in her
Alphabet series, as Kinsey Millhone, discovers what Y is for . . .
The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files
of Kinsey Millhone, Y begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite
private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate — and film the
attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow
classmate, 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 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. A vicious sociopath
with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find
. . .
