Kinsey Millhone returns for this 17th in the series. She joins forces with Lieutenant Con Doyle to raise the spirits of his 73-old mentor Stacey Oliphant, cancer victim. Stacey is still concerned about a young unidentified female found 18 years before near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The victim was stabbed multiple times with her wrists bound with wire. There was so little to go on that the detectives had to abandon the case after a few months. Doyle and Oliphant want Kinsey to find the killer. She reviews the police reports. Grafton skillfully turns up clues that make it a real chase for the killer. The characterizations of the two old policemen, Doyle and Oliphant make this a fun and interesting read.
