In what may be her creepiest novel to date, Sue Grafton's T is for trespass is also her most direct confrontation with the forces of evil. Though set in the late eighties, T is for trespass could not be more topical: identity theft; elder abuse; betrayal of trust; the breakdown of institutions charged with caring for the weak and the dependent.
