"Grafton keeps pulling out surprises--and pulling us in."

O*** is for once upon a time. . .
Let's talk about Kinsey's past. We know of the aunt who raised her, the
second husband who left her, and her long-lost family up the California
coast. But what about Kinsey's husband number one? He was always a blip
on the radar--until now.
O is for old secrets...
Kinsey receives a call from a random guy who scavenges defaulted storage
units at auction. Last week, he bought a stack of boxes--and Kinsey's
name turned up inthem. For thirty bucks, Kinsey buys the lot and finds,
among piles of childhood memorabilia, an undelivered letter from a long,
long time ago.
O is for outlaw.
The old letter forces Kinsey to recall and reexamine her first failed
marriage. It also sheds new light on a murder case gone cold--one that
puts her life in the gravest peril. And from which there is no turning
back. . .
