Sue Grafton's K is for Killer is about private investigator Kinsey Millhone taking on a cold case from ten months prior: the murder of a beautiful and secretive young woman named Lorna Kepler. Kinsey delves into Lorna's "double life"—day job as a receptionist at a water treatment plant and a night life as a high-class prostitute—to uncover the truth behind her death and find the killer. The case involves a complex web of deception, her family, and powerful, dangerous figures. Case summary The victim: Lorna Kepler, a young woman described as beautiful, willful, and secretive, who had a double life. The initial death: Lorna died ten months before the book begins, officially from an allergic reaction, but her mother suspected foul play. The police investigation stalled. The client: Janice Kepler, Lorna's mother, who becomes frustrated with the lack of progress and seeks Kinsey's help to finish the investigation. The investigation: Kinsey uncovers Lorna's life as a high-class call girl, her financial dealings, and her connections to a variety of people, including a late-night DJ, a teenage prostitute, her landlord, and her estranged family. The Stakes: Kinsey is drawn into a "netherworld of unavenged murder and damaged survivors" where she must navigate deceit and danger to find the killer. 1ST EDITION VINTAGE COLLECTABLE GIFT IDEA
