SynopsisHow do you go about solving an attempted murder when the victim has lost a good part of his memory? It's one of Kinsey's toughest cases yet, but she never backs down from a challenge. Twenty-three-year-old Bobby Callahan is lucky to be alive after a car forced his Porsche over a bridge and into a canyon. The crash left Bobby with a clouded memory. But he can't shake the feeling it was no random accident and that he's still in danger... The only clues Kinsey has to go on are a little red address book and the name " Blackman." Bobby can't remember who he gave the address book to for safekeeping. And any chances of Bobby regaining his memory are dashed when he's killed in another automobile accident just three days after he hires Kinsey. As Kinsey digs deeper into her investigation, she discovers Bobby had a secret worth killing for-- and unearthing that secret could send Kinsey to her own early death...
This is one of Sue Grafton's earliest, and best, Kinsey books. There is a compelling mystery to be solved, and there is also a fun subplot concerning Henry and one of his "lady friends." Both plots will keep you guessing right up to the very end. highly recommended!
