This is the initial book in the vastly popular Alphabet series of murder mysteries by Sue Grafton. It introduces Kinsey Millhone, the down-to-earth private investigator who's captured America's interest.

From back cover: Laurence Fife was a slick divorce lawyer and slippery ladies' man. Until someone kille dhim. The jury believed it was his pretty young wife, Nikki, so they sent her to prison for eight years. Now Nikki's out on parole and Kinsey Millhone's in for trouble. Nikki hires Kinsey to discover who really killed her husband. But the trail is eight years cold, and at the end is a chilling twist even Kinsey doesn't suspect---a second eight-year-old murder and a brand-new corpse.
