c. 1993 -- the National Bestseller -- a Kinsey Millhone Mystery -- a Main Selection of the Literary Guild

Inside: Wendell Jaffe has been dead for 5 years -- until his former insurance agent spots him in a dusty resort bar. Now CA Fidelity wants Kinsey Millhone to track down the dead man. Just 2 months before, his widow collected on Jaffe's $500,000 life insurance policy -- her only legacy since Jaffe went overboard, bankrupt and about to be indicted for his fraudulent real estate schemes. As Kinsey pushes deeper into the mystery surrounding Wendell Jeffe's pseudocide, she explores her own past, discovering that in family matters as in crime, sometimes it's better to reserve judgment ...

I finished reading this book today. Kinsey investigates a guy who disappears (twice), presumed dead. He steals a boat, which disappears along with 3 million dollars. Also some estranged family shows up in the form off a few cousins and Kinsey wonders why her grandmother has ignored her all these years.
