ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

C is for Corpse by Sue Grafton introduces private investigator Kinsey Millhone who takes on the case of Bobby Callahan, a young man convinced he survived a deliberate attempt on his life. Suffering from amnesia after a horrific car crash, Bobby hires Kinsey to uncover the truth behind the incident. However, his life is cut short, and Kinsey finds herself investigating a murder instead. Driven by her commitment to her clients, living or dead, Kinsey delves into Bobby's past, navigating complex family relationships and searching for a motive in a case clouded by memory loss and potential hidden enemies. The novel explores themes of vulnerability, the search for truth, and the persistence of justice in the face of tragedy.
