paroled

By Ashraf Al Shafaki

I came across the word paroled while reading a review of the R is for Ricochet novel at Amazon.com.

The word paroled appeared in the following sentence:

When wealthy octogenarian Nord Lafferty hires Kinsey Millhone to help his newly paroled daughter find her way back to the straight and narrow after doing time for embezzlement, the Santa Teresa P.I. has no idea what she’s getting into.

The word paroled means to be released early from prison.
