"M" is for money. Lots of it. "M" is for Malek Construction, the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California construction, one of the few still in family hands.
"M" is for the Malek family: four sons now nearing middle age who stand to inherit a fortune - four men with very different outlooks, temperaments,and needs,linked only by blood and money.Eighteen years ago,one of them - angry,troubled,and in trouble - went missing.
"M" is for Millhone,hired to trace that missing black sheep brother.
"M" is for memories,none of them happy.The bitter memories of an embattled family.This prodigal son will find no welcome at his family's table. "M" is for malice.
And in brutal consequence,"M" is for murder,the all-too-common outcome of familial hatreds.
"M" is for malice...and malice kills.
Sue Taylor Grafton (b. 24th April,1940 – d. 28th December, 2017) was an American author of detective novels,best known as the author of the "alphabet series" ("A" Is for Alibi, etc.) featuring private investigator Kinsey Millhone in the fictional city of Santa Teresa, California.
Grafton had said that the alphabetical series would end with "Z" is for Zero,but she died before she could write it.Her daughter said Grafton would never allow a ghostwriter to write in her name and "as far as we in the family are concerned,the alphabet now ends at Y."
