A mystery novel featuring wise-cracking female private investigator, Kinsey Millhone. Kinsey thought this job was cut and dried, until the client's cheque bounced. Then the ex-con, liar and chronic drunk was found dead.
That’s what Max thought. All his life he’d been called stupid. Dumb. Slow. It didn’t help that his body seemed to be growing faster than his mind. It didn’t help that people were afraid of him. So Max learned how to be alone. At least until Freak came along.
