Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone was a detective in the classic noir tradition who upended the classic noir clichés, written by an author in conscious dialogue with her genre: "The conclusion of "A Is For Alibi" is deadly serious. It's an ingenious feminist rewriting of one of the most hateful mystery endings of all time, Mickey Spillane's misogynist masterpiece I, THE JURY" (Corrigan). 7'' x 4.25''.
