Sue Grafton is published in 28 countries and 26
languages—including Estonian, Bulgarian, and Indonesian. She’s an
international bestseller with a readership in the millions. She’s a writer
who believes in the form that she has chosen to mine: "The mystery novel
offers a world in which justice is served. Maybe not in a court of law," she
has said, "but people do get their just desserts." And like Raymond Chandler
and Ross Macdonald, Robert Parker and the John D. MacDonald—the best of her
breed—she has earned new respect for that form. Her readers appreciate her
buoyant style, her eye for detail, her deft hand with character, her acute
social observances, and her abundant storytelling talents.
