Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

trespass \'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 -Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass 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, T is for Trespass 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.

About the Author

New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton is published in 28 countries and 26 languages—including Estonian, Bulgarian, and Indonesian.

Wascally Wabbit, December 18, 2010 (view all comments by Wascally Wabbit)
The "T" has been heavily massaged to fit the Grafton A-Z of Kinsey Milhone, it bears no resemblance to Trespass at all. It's actually "I" for Identity Theft. Not a particularly good book. Milhone's obsession with Cheese Quarter Pounders should have had her arteries clanging firmly shut by now, yet she manages to cope with levels of physical violence that would have most of us in hospital for a year. She becomes increasingly unbelieveable with every book.
