X: Kinsey Millhone's next case. ***This is the truth about me and you might as well know it now. I'm passionate about all manner of criminals; killers, thieves and mountebanks, the pursuit of whom I find both engaging and entertaining. Life's cheaters are everywhere and my mission is to eradicate the lot of them. I know this speaks volumes about the paucity of my personal life, but that's my nature in a nutshell---.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***'The Alphabet Series of novels 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 for "X". After the publication of "G" Is for Gumshoe, Grafton was able to quit her screen writing job and focus on her writing. Since the publication of "A" is for Alibi, a new episode was released each year or so. The name of each book was a source of speculation. In May 2009, Grafton told Media Bistro that she was "just trying to figure out how to get from "U" is for Undertow to "Z" Is for Zero" and that "just because she knows the endgame title for Z [.] doesn't mean she knows what V, W, X, and Y will be". Grafton said that the series would end with "Z" Is for Zero, but she died before she could begin writing it. Her daughter said Grafton would never allow a ghostwriter to write in her name and "as far as we in the family are concerned, the alphabet now ends at Y."' (Wiki) ***First impression of the first UK edition of 'X', in its original dustwrapper, in fine bright condition.
