About the Book
It was like being in the presence of a snake, first hissing its presence and then coiled in readiness. I didnâe(tm)t dare turn my back or take my eyes off of her. I stood very still. I let go of my fight-or-flight defense and decided to play dead. If you run from a bear, it gives chase. Thatâe(tm)s the nature of the beast. Likewise a snake. If I moved, she might strike. When her elderly neighbour Gus has an accident, Kinsey Millhone is relieved when his niece organises a nurse for him. Verifying a background check on Solana Rojas doesnâe(tm)t turn up anything suspicious. But Kinseyâe(tm)s not convinced âe" especially when Gus seems to be getting worse under his nurseâe(tm)s tender care. Realising that her neighbourly concern isnâe(tm)t going to get her past the front door Kinsey turns to more unorthodox methods to step up her investigation. And gets far more than she bargained for . . . Not only is Solana not who she seems to be but sheâe(tm)s more than able to play Kinsey at her own game. Suddenly the tables have turned and itâe(tm)s Kinsey whoâe(tm)s on the wrong side of the law . . .
