Y is for Yesterday is the twenty-fifth and last in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet mystery series by Sue Grafton. The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y is for Yesterday begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate – and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns in evidence for the state and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now, it’s 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents – until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That’s when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he’s not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find . . .

...all I had to do was return the retainer and that would have been the end of it.
But I was already hooked. The little terrier in my nature was busy chasing after the problem, throwing dirt up behind me as I dug my little hole. There was a rat down there somewhere and I would have it for my very own.

Y is for Yesterday
This was such a good book but now I'm sad. This is the end of the line and Sue Grafton is gone. RIP Sue. I think I will really miss reading about Henry, her landlord and silver fox.
This book starts with another story but the search for Ned, the serial killer, is still in progress. They were sure he had left the area and was hiding out but now he's back. He is desperate to get back his souvenirs and he will do whatever it takes. He just has to figure out who has them.
