Kinsey had never believed in Santa Claus and she wasnt about to change her mind now. Resigning herself to a morning of frustration she phoned the bank and assaulted by canned carols waited on hold for an officer to clear up the snafu.. It was with something less than Christmas cheer that Kinsey faced off only minutes later with California Fidelitys Mac Voorhies. Voorhies was smart humorless stingy with praise and totally fair. He was frowning now.. I got a phone call this morning. he said his frown deepening. Somebody says youre on the take.. Suddenly the $5000 deposit clicked into place. It wasnt a mistake. It was a setup.. E is for evidence: evidence planted evidence lost. E is for ex-lovers and evasions enemies and endings. For Kinsey E is for everything she stands to lose if she cant exonerate herself: her license her livelihood her good name. And so she takes on a new client: namely Kinsey Millhone thirty-two and twice-divorced ex-cop and wisecracking loner a California private investigator with a penchant for lost causes--one of which it is to be hoped is not herself..
