M is for Malice is the thirteenth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton.''M'' is for Malek Construction, the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California. ''M'' is for Malek family: four sons now nearing middle age who stand to inherit a fortune – four men with very different temperaments and needs, linked only by blood and money.

And, in brutal consequence, ''M'' is for murder . . .
