Y is for Yesterday - Sue Grafton [EN EPUB MOBI] [ebook]
Info:
Book Info:
The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y is for Yesterday begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate-and film the attack.* Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state's evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace.
Now, it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents-until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find.

Review
Praise for Y is for Yesterday
**
"I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone.* Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job.it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming.* She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions." - New York Times Book Review
"This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. *Prime Grafton."- Booklist, starred review
"Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller." -Publishers Weekly*
"The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton (W Is for Wasted) constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace." - Library Journal
*
"The lively, engrossing Y Is for Yesterday demonstrates that she hasn't lost her touch over the years . Grafton is in sure command of Kinsey's wise-cracking but warm voice and of a many-layered plot that moves back and forth over events of a decade. Y Is For Yesterday might make you wish the alphabet had a few more letters." -Tampa Bay Times- Review*
