Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable and particularly internally,the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its age. It really is an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults. In what may be her most unsettling novel to date,Sue Grafton's 'T IS FOR TRESPASS' is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye,Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole,an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties,'T IS FOR TRESPASS' could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. light edge wear to boards and jacket; first edition, first printing; Sue Grafton ups the ante for private investigator Kinsey Millhone like never before in this "taut, terrifying, transfixing"* #1 New York Times bestselling mystery in the Alphabet series. Kinsey Millhone's elderly neighbor, Gus Vronsky, may have been the original inspiration for the term "Grumpy Gus." A miser and a hoarder, Gus is so crotchety that after he takes a bad fall, his only living relative is anxious to find someone to take care of him and get back home as soon as she can. To help, Kinsey runs a check on the applicant, Solana Rojas. Social security, driver's license, nursing certification: It all checks out. And it sounds like she did a good job for her former employers. So Kinsey gives her the thumbs-up, figuring Gus will be the ideal assignment for this diligent, experienced caregiver. And the real Solana Rojas was indeed an excellent caregiver. But the woman who has stolen her identity is not, and for her, Gus will be the ideal victim... "The best and strongest book in the series...Solana is one of the most evil, calculating characters Grafton has created."--* USA Today, G. P. Putnam, 2007-12-04, 3<
