Three years ago Jane Doe was set to marry Nosmo King, the one true love of her life and a fellow PI. First, though, she had to go to Seattle to see her brother, John, get married. In a gesture of affection and to help her get to the airport on time, Nosmo goes out to start her car -- and gets blown to smithereens.

After a considerable amount of "time off," Jane gets back into the swing of things. As the novel opens, she is on her way to a session with her shrink (she gets panic attacks while driving LA's freeways). Because police cars are everywhere, she has to park a ways away and as she nears the building, is stopped by an officer. Her shrink, it seems, has been murdered. What's more, at approximately the same time, Quentin Questfore was also murdered -- the very man Jane is certain was responsible for Nosmo's untimely demise. Torn between grief (over the loss of her shrink) and euphoria (at the loss of her nemesis), she is further shocked to learn that she is the prime suspect.

Before she can clear her name, she must solve the 3-year-old murder case that was the motivation for the car bombing. Along the way, she meets Bruno. Probably a professional hit man, he befriends her and terrifies her. She also meets a wacky family of physicians (or are they?), including one hunk she falls for.

Here's what one professional book critic had to say about THE QUESTFORE CAPER:  Marilyn Kyd has a well-written, witty, and exhilarating accomplishment in THE QUESTFORE CAPER: A JANE DOE MYSTERY. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Jane Doe was a humorous, believable character confronted by a streak of bad luck, which she dealt with famously. The novel is clearly meant for entertainment, and in the mystery/fiction genre it should stand tall and well. The light sarcasm and action-packed adventures of Jane Doe provide a wonderful mode of release for an audience that would rather laugh than cry at the horrors of our society.
