About this product

Product Information

His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjustor for California Fidelity. Then someone came along and put paid to that line of work. And to any other. Parnell Perkins had been shot at close range and left for dead in the parking lot outside California Fidelity's offices. To the cops, it looked like a robbery gone sour. To Kinsey Millhone, it looked like the cops were walking away from the case. She didn't like the idea that a colleague and sometime drinking companion had been murdered. Or the idea that his murderer was loose and on the prowl. It made her feel exposed. Vulnerable. Bibianna Diaz was afraid for her life. If there was one thing she knew for sure, it was that you didn't cross Raymond Maldonado and live to tell the tale. And Bibianna had well and truly crossed him, running out on his crazy wedding plans and going into hiding in Santa Teresa--light years away from the Los Angeles barrio that was home turf to Raymond and his gang. Now she needed money to buy time, to make sure she'd put enough space between them. And the quickest way she knew to get money was to work an insurance scam--just like the ones Raymond was running down in L.A. The trouble was, Bibianna picked California Fidelity as her mark. And it wasn't long before her name surfaced in one of Parnell Perkins's open files and Kinsey was on her case. But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado. He had a rap sheet as long as his arm, a hair-trigger temper that was best left untested, and an inability to take no for an answer. He also had Tourette's syndrome, which did nothing to smooth out the kinks in his erratic and often violent behavior. All in all, Raymond Maldonado was not someone to spend a lot of time hanging out with. Unfortunately for Kinsey, she didn't have a lot of choice in the mater. Not after the love-sick Raymond kidnapped Bibianna. Like it or not, Kinsey was stuck babysitting Bibianna along with Raymond and his macho crew. You might say she was a prisoner of love. It may be Kinsey Millhone's most complicated and risk-filled case. It certainly is Sue Grafton's wittiest venture into low-life crime. It's H is for Homicide , and it confirms yet again that Kinsey Millhone is a wonderful character, tough but not brutish, resourceful and sensitive, a fit knight to walk those mean streets with her male predecessors (the Los Angeles Times ) and that Sue Grafton is a heads-up delight ( Detroit News ).

    Great mystery

    I love the Kinsey Millhone mysteries......so far, I have the completed series A thru X and am looking forward to Y and Z. I like the way that each book takes up just after the book before.......as far as Kinsey's life is concerned. Thank you Mrs. Grafton for such a compelling series.

  • sue grafton h is for homicide kinsey millhone gum shoe detective

    back of book says: bibianna diaz was afriad for her life. if there was one thing she knew for sure, it was that you didn't cross raymond maldonado and live to tell the tale. kinsey accidentally meets up with an old friend while tailing a probable insurance fraud person. this was the first one in the series thus far, that i couldn't put down and i couldn't stop screaming, get out ...... run , and where's dolan did he screw up? where was his wire and all the other things he promised? kinsey reminds me of the gumshoe detectives from those old 1930's and 40's black and white movies.

  • Another great book by Sue Grafton

    Lots of research goes into all of S G's books. It makes the story realistic and exciting. Real page turners. Always lots of action and suspense.
