Product Description
When Kinsey Millhone first arrives in Floral Beach, California, it's hard for her to picture the idyllic coastal town as the setting of a brutal murder. Seventeen years ago, the body of Jean Timberlake--a troubled teen who had a reputation with the boys--was found on the beach. Her boyfriend Bailey Fowler was convicted of her murder and imprisoned, but he escaped.
After all this time, Bailey's finally been captured. Believing in his son's innocence, Bailey's father wants Kinsey to find Jean's real killer. But most of the residents in this tight-knit community are convinced Bailey strangled Jean. So why are they so reluctant to answer Kinsey's questions? If there's one thing Kinsey's got plenty of it's persistence. And that's exactly what it's going to take to crack the lid on this case.
As Kinsey gets closer to solving Jean's murder, the more dirty little secrets she uncovers in a town where everyone has something to hide--and a killer will kill again to keep the past buried...

 "F" is for Fugitive July 3, 2010
Gary L. Johnson
Excellent results (as expected when dealing with this highly regarded supplier). The product was as advertised, and great care was given in the packaging of the product for shipment.
One of my favorites in the saga of Kinsey Millhone April 20, 2010
D. Perry (California, USA)
Just read this book for the second time (after being away from it for several years) and I think enjoyed it even more than the first time I read it. For one, I finally figured out that the fictitious town of "Floral Beach," the setting for this book, is actually Avila Beach -- on the coast of Central California (12 miles west of San Luis Obispo). Sue Grafton drops a few clues into the story (like the hot springs, which the real town Avila Beach also has) that allowed me to figure out which town she'd used as the model for the locale of the story.
As usual, Sue Grafton's descriptions of place and weather, through Kinsey, are so descriptive as to be nearly poetic. Early on in the story, when Kinsey is going to visit the pool hall, there's a description of the fog coming in at night off the ocean that practically makes me want to move there (me being one of those people who loves seeing the coastal fog creep in off the Pacific, as it does so grandly and so very often here on the West Coast).
I slightly missed Kinsey's usual cast of characters back in Santa Teresa, but at the same time it was nice to have a different locale for a Kinsey mystery. I was absorbed in the story from beginning to end, and the descriptions of nearby San Luis Obispo are spot on, too. Ms. Grafton continues to impress me with her talents as a writer. I'll be sad when this wonderful series ends.
F is for Fantastic Fun November 9, 2009
Marsha Nichols (CA)
Sue Grafton is able to take Kinsey into situations and give the reader a sense of adventure...the kind of adventure we could never have...nor want! I thought this book had all kinds of twists and turns and a completely non-predictable ending!
As I would get to the end of a chapter, I'd think, "Oh why not read one more chapter..." and that went on till 2:00-3:00 AM!
The worse part about reading Grafton books is that I get nothing else done...no cleaning...well, on second thought...... M.N.
 F is For Fugitive September 18, 2009
Vidagray (Four Oaks, N.C.)
As always I enjoy Sue Grafton's books featuring Kinsey Milhone. They are fast paced and easy to read. Kinsey is a continuing story each
book with a new case each book.
I am rereading them all and waiting for U is for Undertow which is her latest adventire.
A Cold Case August 31, 2009
Ruth Thompson (Venice, FL USA)
Grafton kept her series coming. It was fun to see what was in store for Kinsey with each new book. Jean was wild and people thought she was looking for trouble. They found her dead seventeen years ago. After awhile the case went cold. Now Kinsey has her hands full with this cold case. By Ruth Thompson author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and "Natchez Above The River"
