Books like O is for Outlaw (Kinsey Millhone, #15) by Sue Grafton
In O is for Outlaw, the fifteenth book in Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone series, the sharp‑witted woman private investigator receives an unexpected call on Monday morning. A storage‑unit scavenger, who has raided recently defaulted estates at auction, offers Kinsey a stack of items from her own past for a modest thirty dollars. Knowing very little about the sentimental value of her possessions, Kinsey accepts the bargain. Inside the boxes she discovers childhood memorabilia and, more importantly, an old undelivered letter that brings to light the mysterious circumstances surrounding her first marriage and a cold, unsolved murder. The revelation throws Kinsey into a dangerous investigation that tests her resolve and threatens her very life.
