"M" Is for Malice - International Edition

More about the book

"The lady can write. . . . Any reader who needs a smart and sassy P.I. would do well to hire Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone." --The New York Times Blood may be thicker than water--but not in the case of the Malek family. For four middle-aged brothers who now stand to inherit a fortune, familial love is a foreign phrase. One of California's "Big Three," forty-million-dollar Malek Construction grew from modest family roots into a financial giant--spawning a bitter battle driven by greed. But one of the Malek brothers is missing. Angry, in some kind of trouble, he disappeared eighteen years ago. And now it's up to Kinsey Millhone to track down the wayward son. She finds the long-lost brother--but there's no happy homecoming. And as hateful memories bubble to the surface--the spillover could be murder . . . "The engaging Millhone's wonderful first-person narrative makes these books addictive. Full of idiosyncracies and sharp simile, it's a voice that might even draw an appreciative snort from Raymond Chandler." --The Wall Street Journal
