Publisher's Summary

Of number-one New York Times best-selling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only two letters left, Grafton's many devoted listeners will share that sentiment.

X: the number 10. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss.

X: the shortest entry in Webster's Unabridged. Derived from Greek and Latin and commonly found in science, medicine, and religion. The most graphically dramatic letter. Notoriously tricky to pronounce: Think xylophone.

X: the 24th letter in the English alphabet.

Sue Grafton's X: Perhaps her darkest and most chilling novel, it features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this sociopath. The test is whether Kinsey can prove her case against him before she becomes his next victim.

What the critics say

“Grafton’s endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

“Excellent...pulse-pounding...Grafton has never been better.” (Booklist, starred review) 

“Ratcheting up the heat as she heads toward the finish line of her alphabetically-framed series, Grafton has turned in a corker of a novel with X, upping her already high-level game.” (The Boston Globe)

Time period late 1980's

Takes you back to when police & PI'S investigated without the use of computers, cell phones & Google. research was done with telephone books, land phone calls, payphones, cash & human contact. My oh my such a different world back then, amazing how far we've progressed.

Amazing book

I love the entire series, Judy Kaye reads each book so well. I love that she gets into the story and has a great flow. Sue Grafton was a great author, I'm sad to know she's no longer with us.
