Synopsis

'E' is for evidence: evidence  planted, evidence lost. 'E' is for ex-lovers and  evasions, enemies and endings. For Kinsey, 'E' is  for everything she stands to lose if she can't  exonerate herself: her license, her livelihood, her  good name. And so she takes on a new client: namely,  Kinsey Millhone, thirty-two and twice divorced,  ex-cop and wisecracking loner, a California private  investigator with a penchant for lost causes--one of which, it is to be hoped, is not  herself.
