Enter To Win 1 of 100 Copies of Sue Grafton's W is for ...

Sue Grafton W is for …

Think you know what the title of Sue Grafton's next Kinsey Millhone mystery is? If so, you may be one of 100 winners of a copy of the book, courtesy of Putnam.

Visit this page to find the entry form and a list of the official rules. You have only until April 30th, 2013 to enter. The cover (with its title) will be revealed late next week; the book will be published on September 10th, 2013.

Here's a synopsis of the book, from the publisher:

Two dead bodies changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue.

The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him.

Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes.

But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey literally finds the key to his identity. "And just like that," she says, "the lid to Pandora's box flew open. It would take me another day before I understood how many imps had been freed, but for the moment, I was inordinately pleased with myself."

In this multi-layered tale, the surfaces seem clear, but the underpinnings are full of betrayals, misunderstandings, and outright murderous fraud. And Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised.

W is for … wanderer … worthless … wronged …
