NEW BLOOD: I found Sue Grafton at the East Beach Grill, ready for a latte and anxious to talk about her latest alphabet mystery series book, X.
That’s it, X, no X is for … It’s the 24th letter of the alphabet and her 24th book, due to hit the bookstores August 25.
Grafton, a trim 75, sipped coffee and harked back to 1982, when A is for Alibi was published, her first book featuring private detective Kinsey Millhone.
