D as delirium

He introduced himself as Alvin Lomardo and entrusted Kinsey with a very definite task: to find a boy who had once done him a great service and to hand over a check for twenty-five thousand dollars. It wasn't until Kinsey found out later that his check on the down payment was unsecured that his real name was Daggett. John Daggett. He was a prisoner. He's a stubborn liar. He is a serious alcoholic. And he's dead. Cops say there was an accident: he drowned. Kinsey wasn't so sure. Stumbling through the ruins of a dead man's life, Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had plenty of enemies. Her daughter, who was inherited by her alcoholic father as a child, and his wife, who fled the unbearable marriage into religious madness. Then there’s a woman who thought she was Daggett’s wife, plus the bruises under her eyes prove it, but she finds herself opposite the legal wife. Some drug dealers are earning $ 25,000. And last but not least, the families of the five people who died in a drunken car accident caused by Daggett. According to the prosecutor, the road accident that caused the death was the charge, for which he was sentenced to two years. The families said there was a murder, and there was good reason to wish Daggett's death. Although this latest investigation by Miss Millhone also testifies to her skill, wit, and cunning, she brings to the surface some truth to hide. As Kinsey himself puts it, "the human soul sometimes has such a heavy debt that one can only pay off with one's life." However, he is one of the first to acknowledge that murder is not a socially acceptable solution to such situations.
