When Kinsey Millhoneanswers her office door late one night, she lets in more darkness than she realizes. Janice Kepler is a grieving mother who can't let the death of her beatiful daughter Lorna alone. The police agree that Lorna was murdered, but a suspect was never apprehended: the trail is now 10 months cold. Kinsey pieces together Lorna's young life: a dull day job at the local water treatment plant spiced by sidelines in prostitution and pornography. Sje tangles with Lorna's friends: a local late-night DJ; a sweet funny teenage hooker; Lorna's sloppy landlord and his exotic wife; her all-business boss; the wealthy nurse whose house and elderly father Lorna baby-sat. But to find out which one , if any , turned killer, Kinsey will have to inhabit a netherworld from which she may never return.
