false 410445 18 tres¥pass \'trespes\ n: a transgression of law involving one's obligations to God or to one's neighbor; a violation of moral law; an offense; a sin< <i>-Webster's New International Dictionary</i>, Second Edition, Unabridged In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's <i>T is for Trespass</i> is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene. Though set in the late eighties, <i>T is for Trespass</i> could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results. 3082377 4 12 2001 T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mystery) total:3150|5:596|4:1335|3:1001|2:181|1:37| 3150 11722 4316 639 4 4 false false Thu Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 09:23:29 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 09:37:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Feb 14 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 11:06:20 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 19 17:27:04 -0800 2008 and found it was released in December 2005, so I guess I was right.
