Reba Lafferty was the sole child of a devoted father and a girl of luxury. When Reba was born, Nord Lafferty was already in his forties and there was nothing he could refuse her. He discreetly resolved many of her legal issues over the years, but he abandoned her when she was found guilty of embezzlement and sent to the California Institution for Women.
Reba, who is thirty-two years old, will soon be released on parole after serving twenty-two months of a four-year sentence. In order to protect her from drugs, alcohol, and gambling, Nord wants to make sure she remains straight and stays at home.
He's reaching out to Millhone, Kinsey. According to the book's synopsis, "Kinsey's mission seems simple enough: watch Reba until she gets settled and make sure she abides by all parole requirements. A week's worth of effort, maybe. Nothing strange; the lady looks kind and repentant. And the cash is nice." However, life is never that easy, particularly for Kinsey. Less than twenty-four hours after Reba's release from jail, her former group starts to resurface.
