A Is for Alibi and B Is for Burglar by Sue Grafton

A Is for Alibi & B Is for Burglar collects the first two novels in the #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton...

In A is for Alibi, tough-talking private investigator Kinsey Millhone has set up a modest detective agency in a quiet corner of Santa Teresa, California. A twice-divorced loner with few personal attachments, she's got a soft spot for lost causes. That's why she draws clients like Nikki Fife. Nikki is out on parole after serving time for allegedly killing her husband, and needs Kinsey's help to find the real killer. But clearing Nikki's name won't be easy....

In B is for Burglar, Kinsey is reluctant to take on the case of locating Beverly Danziger's sister Elaine. It's a small matter that Beverly should be able to handle herself. So why is she enlisting Kinsey's services? And if there's something she's learned in her line of work, it's to always follow your instincts...

Sue Grafton debuted in the mystery genre with the release of 'A' Is for Alibi in 1982, which introduced Kinsey Millhone, a female hard-boiled private investigator based in the fictional town of Santa Teresa (or Santa Barbara) California. In 1995, 'B' is for Burglar was released, and the 'alphabet' mystery series, also known as 'the alphabet' mysteries, is still going strong. She's also written several Kinsey Millhone short tales, and she and her husband, Steven Humphrey, wrote several television movies, including A Killer in the Family (with Robert Mitchum), Love on the Run (starring Alec Baldwin and Stephanie Zimbalist), and two Agatha Christie adaptations, Sparkling Cyanide and Caribbean Mystery (both starring Helen Hayes). Grafton is available in 26 languages and 28 countries. She adores pets, gardens, and delicious food. Sue lives in both Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, where she was born and reared.
