Description: After publishing two novels, and writing screenplays and television scripts, Sue Grafton came up with the idea of writing a mystery series that became known as the "alphabet series". The first one, "A" is for Alibi, was published in 1982 and this is the book club edition, issued shortly after the first edition and looking, in most respects, just like that trade edition. Very slightly bumped at spine ends, and with the usual browning of the edges, this is a very good copy in a very good dust jacket, a little worn at spine ends and with a small area of rubbing at base of spine from removal of a label.

This copy is a Book Club edition published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1982. ******************************************************** "My name is Kinsey Millhone. I'm a private investigator, licensed by the state of California. I'm thirty-two years old, twice divorced, no kids. The day before yesterday I killed someone and the fact weighs heavily on my mind . ' When Laurence Fife was murdered, few cared. A slick divorce attorney with a reputation for ruthlessness, Fife was also rumoured to be a slippery ladies' man. Plenty of people in the picturesque Southern California town of Santa Teresa had reason to want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, Nikki. With motive, access and opportunity, Nikki was their number one suspect. The Jury thought so too. Eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed her husband. But the trail has gone cold and there is a chilling twist even Kinsey didn't expect ." ****************************************************** Sue Taylor Grafton (April 24, 1940 December 28, 2017) was an American author of detective novels. She is best known as the author of the "alphabet series" ("A" Is for Alibi, etc.) featuring private investigator Kinsey Millhone in the fictional city of Santa Teresa, California. The daughter of detective novelist C. W. Grafton, she said the strongest influence on her crime novels was author Ross Macdonald. Before her success with this series, she wrote screenplays for television movies. . . . ***** The series begins with "A" Is for Alibi, published and set in 1982. "B" Is for Burglar, followed, then "C" Is for Corpse, each novel's title combining a letter with a word, except X. After the publication of "G" Is for Gumshoe, Grafton was able to quit her screenwriting job and focus on her writing. . . . ***** Grafton's novels have been published in 28 countries and in 26 languages. . . . ********* The above text was taken from, respectively, Ulverscroft publishing (via Google Books) and Wikipedia.

With motive, access, and opportunity, Nikki was their number-one suspect. The jury thought so, too. Eight years later and out on parole, Niki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed her late husband. A trail that is eight years cold. A trail that reaches out to enfold a bitter, wealthy, and foul-mouthed old woman and a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted. A trail that leads to a lawyer defensively loyal to a dead partner--and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to an ex-wife, brave, lucid, lovely--and still angry over Fife's betrayal of her; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for too few skills--and too many debts left owing: The trail twists to include them all, with Millhone following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she finds herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.

The text is unmarked, but several of the pages are soiled from multiple readings. The dustjacket remains unclipped ($12.95) and is fairly presentable despite clear tape reinforcement at the spine ends and corner folds, as well as a sticker ghost and some mild paper loss at the lower spine end. Not a great copy, but a good or better place holder in original jacket of Grafton's first book in the acclaimed series in its true first printing state. 274pp.

It was a hangout for mystery writers who would come for signing events and played host to groups such as the Mystery Writers of America, the Baker Street Irregulars, and many others.

The novel follows the thirty-two year old private detective Kinsey Millhone, who is hired to solve the murder of a prominent divorce lawyer Laurence Fife. He had been killed eight years previously and his recently released wife was arrested for the death. The lawyer's death was linked to a similar death of a woman in Los Angeles. Both had died after taking poisonous oleander capsules, which had been substituted for allergy pills. Written by Sue Grafton, who is best known for this influential and popular series of detective novels, known as the 'alphabet series'. She started writing her detective novels after a bitter divorce and custody battle, which resulted in Grafton imagining ways to kill or maim her ex-husband, providing inspiration for this detective series. Sadly, Grafton died before she was able to finish the series, writing a total of twenty-five novels only, ending with ''Y' is for Yesterday'.

Dustwrapper is near fine with a fold down the centre of the spine, with two very small puncture marks to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
