Category: Fiction , Thrillers , Suspense

The client came to Kinsey Millhone with an easy  job -- just deliver $25,000 to a fifteen-year-old  kid. A little odd, and a little too easy, but  Kinsey took Alvin Limardo's retainer check anyway. It  turned out to be as phony as he was. In real life,  his name was John Daggett, a chronic drunk with a  record as long as your arm and a reputation for  sleazy deals. But he wasn't just a deadbeat. By the  time Kinsey caught up with him, he was a dead body  -- with a whole host of people who were delighted  to hear the news. But how do you make a stiff pay  up what he owes you?
