ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y is for Yesterday 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 state’s evidence 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…
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Sue Grafton first introduced Kinsey Millhone in the Alphabet
Series in 1982, and since then, both writer and heroine have become
icons and international bestsellers. Grafton is a writer who
consistently breaks the bonds of genre while never writing the same book
twice. Named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, she has
also received many other honors and awards, including the Lifetime
Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, the Ross
Macdonald Literary Award, the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award from
Britain’s Crime Writers’ Association, the Lifetime Achievement Award
from Malice Domestic, the Anthony Award given by Bouchercon, and three
Shamus Awards. She lives in Montecito, California, and Louisville,
Kentucky.
SOME OTHER BOOKS BY SUE GRAFTON:
PRAISE FOR Y IS FOR YESTERDAY:
“I’m going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton’s Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man’s job…it’s Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She’s smart, she’s resourceful, and she’s tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions.”—New York Times Book Review
“The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years.” —Wall Street Journal
“This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. Prime Grafton.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller.”—Publishers Weekly
“The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton (W Is for Wasted) constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace.”—Library Journal
“The lively, engrossing Y Is for Yesterday demonstrates that she hasn’t lost her touch over the years…Grafton is in sure command of Kinsey’s wise-cracking but warm voice and of a many-layered plot that moves back and forth over events of a decade. Y Is For Yesterday might make you wish the alphabet had a few more letters.”—Tampa Bay Times-Review
