It was only later, after he'd stiffed her for her retainer, that Kinsey found out his name was Daggett. John Daggett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead. The cops called it an accident--death by drowning. Kinsey wasn't so sure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePulled into the detritus of a dead man's life, Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies. There's the daughter who grew up with a cheating drunk for a father, and the wife who's become a religious nut in response to an intolerable marriage. There's the lady who thought she was Mrs. Daggett--and has the bruises to prove it--only to discover the legal Mrs. D. And there are the drug dealers out $25,000. But most of all, there are the families of the five people John Daggett killed, victims of his wild, drunken driving. The D.A. called it vehicular manslaughter and put him away for two years. The families called it murder and had very good reason to want John Daggett dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeft, cunning, and clever, this latest Millhone mystery also confronts some messy truths, for, as Kinsey herself says, Some debts of the human soul are so enormous only life itself is sufficient forfeit--but as she'd be the first to admit, murder is not a socially acceptable solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA Is for Alibi\u003cbr\u003eB Is for Burglar\u003cbr\u003eC Is for Corpse\u003cbr\u003eD Is for Deadbeat\u003cbr\u003eE Is for Evidence\u003cbr\u003eF Is for Fugitive\u003cbr\u003eG Is for Gumshoe\u003cbr\u003eH Is for Homicide\u003cbr\u003eI Is for Innocent\u003cbr\u003eJ Is for Judgment\u003cbr\u003eK Is for Killer\u003cbr\u003eL is for Lawless\u003cbr\u003eM Is for Malice\u003cbr\u003eN Is for Noose\u003cbr\u003eO Is for Outlaw\u003cbr\u003eP Is for Peril \u003cbr\u003eQ Is for Quarry\u003cbr\u003eR Is for Ricochet \u003cbr\u003eS Is for Silence \u003cbr\u003eT Is for Trespass\u003cbr\u003eU Is for Undertow \u003cbr\u003eV Is for Vengeance \u003cbr\u003eW Is for Wasted \u003cbr\u003eX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Grafton, Grafton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805002480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805002485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Holt \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/1987","brand":"Sue Grafton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051882148095,"sku":"9780805002485","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f15c429-1c2b-42ee-af4b-731826d38aff.jpg?v=1685015734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/d-is-for-deadbeat-sue-grafton-9780805002485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
