Reba Laffrity was a daughter of privlige, the only child of an adoring father. Over the years he quietly setteled her many scrapes with the law untill she messed up one time too many.
Now, 22 months later, Nord Laffrity has hired Kinsey Millhone, a Santa Teresa Private Investigator, to make sure Reba abides by all the conditions of her parole. In other words he wan't Kinsey to babysit his daughter for a few weeks- untill she gets back on her feet and adjusted to "free life."
But, as with all things Kinsey takes on, what seemed like a cut and dry case soon turns complicated.
In "R" a complex and clever money-laundering scheme is just a cover for a story all about love: love gone wrong, love betrayed, love denied, and love avenged.
