B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton

(A Kinsey Millhone Mystery)

Paperback - 228 pages

 (slightly damaged by age and many readers - pages starting to yellow - )

Elaine Boldt is missing, and her sister wants Kinsey Millhone to find her.

Seems like a routine job. Boldt was last seen lavishly draped in a $12,000 lynx coat heading for Boca Raton. She never got there. But someone else had, and was camping out illegally in Mrs. Boldt's abode. Now, things were beginning to seem a bit less routine - particularly when Kinsey is ordered to drop the investigation just as she discovers that days before Elaine Boldt "bolted", her next-door neighbor and bridge partner had been murdered. Unfortunately, the killer is still at large . . . and looking for Kinsey!
