Sue Grafton - closing in on the letter "Z"
Dave U. Random
A talk with Sue Grafton about her latest Kinsey
Millhone mystery, "U Is for Undertow." (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/Undert ) For the series' first half,
people bet that she couldn't finish it. "Now," she
says, "they are rooting for me."

Z is for Zodiac (my favorite) - Zucchini - Zapped - Zookeeper - Zealot
- Zero - Zipper - Zabaglione (someone could get poisoned by
undercooked custard ;-)) - Zinfandel - Zigzag -

Not very exciting but I came up with:
Z is for:
Zealot
Zodiac
Zip gun
The Zealot has more possibilities. Zodiac - could have a case related
to the Zodiac killer, Zip gun - terrorist related?

X is for Xmas
There are more than 200 words to choose from, e.g. Xenophobia.

Fantastic! Zodiac and Zigzag particularly. I'm dubious about "Zodiac"
because the ZOdiac killer was being pursued during the time period in
which the series takes place.
A friend of mine and I, who listen to Grafton whenever we drive to
Atlantic City have bet on whart the next word of each book will be. I
won wirh "Undertow" but don't yout think "X"is the most obvious
challenge? The only thing I can come up with is "X ray" and that's so
obvious. She can't use can't use "marks the spot," nrcause it breaks
the form and it's a Stephanie Plum sound alike.
So Grafton gives us a mystery even before she gives us the mystery.

should be Zoonosis. The vic is killed by a disease transmitted from an
animal.... which the perp has deliberately induced into a household pet,
perhaps one that soen't necessarily live with the vic. Rabies comes
instantly to mind, but there are others.... and the perp would have to
have access to a rabid animal or the Class 4-lab live virus.
Further hm-m-m-m-m...... The island of Bali is currently having a huge
and prolonged outbreak of rabies....
X is a puzzle......
