'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 pupil, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns in evidence for the state 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 Private Investigator 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 . . .
