E is for Evidence

C comme cadavre

M comme machination

When Alvin Limardo walks into P.I. Kinsey Millhone's office, she smells bad news. He wants Kinsey to deliver $25,000. The recipient: A fifteen-year-old boy. It's a simple matter. So simple that Kinsey wonders why he doesn't deliver the money himself. She's almost certain something is off. But with rent due, Kinsey accepts Limardo's retainer against her better judgment…When Limardo's check bounces, Kinsey discovers she's been had big time. Alvin Limardo is really John Daggett—an ex-con with a drinking problem, two wives to boot, and a slew of people who would like to see him dead. Now Kinsey is out four hundred dollars and in hot pursuit of Daggett.When Daggett's corpse shows up floating in the Santa Teresa surf, the cops rule the death an accident. Kinsey thinks it's murder. But seeking justice for a man who everyone seemed to despise is going to be a lot tougher than she bargained for—and what awaits her at the end of the road is much more disturbing than she could've ever imagined…

U IS FOR UNDERTOW

Je m'appelle Kinsey Millhone. Trente-deux ans, deux fois divorcée, et appréciant la solitude. Je suis détective privé à SantaTeresa en Californie. Certains prétendent que ce n'est pas un métier pour une femme. Les préjugés ont la vie dure. Mais en général les clients sont plutôt contents de mes services. Prenez Nickki Fiffe par exemple. Elle était venue me voir le lendemain de sa sortie de prison, où elle venait de purger huit ans pour le meurtre de son mari. Elle voulait juste que je rouvre le dossier, prouve son innocence et trouve le véritable assassin. Rien de plus simple pour une vraie pro.

W is for Wasted is the twenty-third in the Kinsey Millhone alphabet mystery series by Sue Grafton. Two dead men changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a local private investigator of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with private investigator Kinsey Millhone's name and number was in his trouser pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange links begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey finds the key to his identity .

W is for wasted

A comme alibi

Admettons-le : j'ai vraiment le don pour hériter des affaires les plus impossibles ! Cela faisait dix-sept ans que l'on avait découvert le corps de Jane Timberlake. Dix-sept ans qu'un jeune homme s'était accusé du meurtre, avant de s'évader de prison. Dix-sept ans que celui-ci avait vécu comme un fugitif, sous un nom d'emprunt. Mais il y a des gens qui n'ont pas de chance : la police venait de l'arrêter par erreur et les ordinateurs avaient reconnu ses empreintes. Et maintenant il se rétractait, niait tout en bloc, et sa famille me demandait de prouver son innocence. Chaque mort violente représente le point culminant d'une histoire à partir duquel plusieurs scénarios peuvent prendre forme. Mon travail consiste à trouver une fin à cette histoire. Et, après tout ce temps, c'est loin d'être évident.
