Determined to help Selma find the answer, Kinsey Millhone sets up shop in Nota Lake, where she finds that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood--very likely, her own.
If Kinsey had had just a smidgen of foresight, she would never have taken her current case, handed down to her from her on-again, off-again flame and comrade in arms, Robert Dietz. Selma Newquist, a devastated widow whose makeup tips seem to come from Tammy Faye Baker. We encounter the two this time out after Deitz's knee surgery, as Kinsey drives his "snazzy little red Porsche" back to Carson City, where she checks out his digs for the first time. Her husband Tom Newquist, a detective himself, had been working on a mysterious case when he abruptly died of a heart attack. Beneath the quaint, quiet, country veneer, she unearths a bubbling hotbed of internal strife and f
