Product Description
tres pass \'trespes\ n: a transgression of law involving one's obligations to God or to one's neighbor; a violation of moral law; an offense; a sin
-Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged
In what may be her most unsettling novel to date, Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Beginning slowly with the day-to-day life of a private eye, Grafton suddenly shifts from the voice of Kinsey Millhone to that of Solana Rojas, introducing readers to a chilling sociopath. Rojas is not her birth name. It is an identity she cunningly stole, an identity that gives her access to private caregiving jobs. The true horror of the novel builds with excruciating tension as the reader foresees the awfulness that lies ahead. The suspense lies in whether Millhone will realize what is happening in time to intervene.
Though set in the late eighties, T is for Trespass could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown in the institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent. It reveals a terrifying but all-too-real rip in the social fabric. Once again, Grafton opens up new territory with startling results.

Great perspectives. January 8, 2009
Ehren Snyder (Michigan)
This is one of the better Graftons. The last few were not as good as this one. Using the perspective of the villan as well as Kinsey really helped the book.
 Sue Grafton's "T" January 6, 2009
C. J. King (Silverdale, WA USA)
I love Sue Grafton's alphabetic series, and thought this was one of the best. Will be looking forward to "U".
 Boring - Not Her Best January 3, 2009
Marcia Larkin (San Diego)
I love Sue Grafton's books, I have read all of them but this one is too slow moving for me. It is just boring, I can hardly finish it. It's a mystery book but you know how it's going to end, not much of a mystery there. This is not Sue's best book.
I'm glad I went back January 1, 2009
Kelli A. Graser
I found the last two alphabet mysteries a bit boring and had decided to drop Sue Grafton from my fave writers list. I'm glad I took a chance with "Trespass". It was a great read! Highly recommended!
T is for "trite" January 1, 2009
H. Wax (Virginia)
Thank goodness I bought this at BJ's as a discounted paperback. I am exactly at chapter 18 and wonder if Ms. Grafton has farmed this out to a ghost writer. The recipe is linear, the spice a poor excuse for a villianess and the rest of the offering are leftovers from the previous backgrounds of A-S. Maybe Ms. Grafton is just "trying" to fulfill a contract requirement but how about quality as a perfromance indicator not just number of words, meeting deadlines, and filling the particular roles in a novel. I don't think I'll be finishing this, can already figure the end game and its "P" for pointless.
