Synopsis
"C" is For Corpse, Kinsey Millhone #3 Bobby Callahan approached detective Kinsey Millhone with a job proposal. His story was strange: he'd been seriously injured in a car crash that was caused by a tailgating car that knocked his vehicle into a canyon 400 feet below, killing the passenger, his best friend. The doctors had healed his body, but not his partial amnesia - Bobby knew someone was trying to kill him, but he didn't know why, and no one believed him. Can Kinsey help Bobby, and unravel the mystery behind his attack? Anthony Award for Best Novel (1987)
