"V" Is For Vengeance by Sue Grafton

Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone is about to get caught up in the most tangled web of illegal acts, one of which leads to personal disfiguring. People borrowing money from loan sharks, professional shoplifters, husbands with a wandering eye and a dirty cop. All of these lead to a very sinister bad guy, who really wants to lead a better life. Grafton writes a thrilling page-turner, leaving one wanting to know what happens next even as "The End" is stated. Surely Grafton's next book will be the sequel. Read this book now!
