GRAFTON'S LITERARY BEGINNINGS Keziah Dane marks Grafton's first published foray into fiction-an ambitious regional drama set in post-flood Kentucky. Although Grafton later became celebrated for her "Alphabet Series" featuring detective Kinsey Millhone this early novel reveals her command of character place and tension. Published over a decade before her introduction of Millhone's mysteries Keziah Dane is both a window into Grafton's literary roots and a gem in its own right. Signed by Grafton on the title page.
