V. I. Warshawski, perhaps the most popular of the "new breed" of female private investigators, is back in what is without a doubt her best adventure yet, a complex, authentic, and gripping story that shows our heroine at both her bravest and most vulnerable. V. I. is not afraid to take on controversial subjects--spouse and child abuse, the homeless, incest, interracial couples, self-help groups, and alternative lifestyles. Nor is she afraid of taking pot shots at corrupt politicians, big government, political coverups, and the idle rich. This time out, she's up against all of the above and more as part of a group of community activists helping the homeless, the helpless, and the heartbroken. Trouble is, for every do-gooder, there's a crooked politician or corrupt official who's using the system to get rich quick. When one of V. I.'s do-gooder friends is murdered, V. I. is convinced the victim's law-prof husband is the killer. But the more she digs, the more confusing and convoluted the case becomes. Before it's over, V. I. is mugged, shot, burned, battered, and bruised; the whole of the Chicago police force is mad at her; she's offended at least one influential senator; and a giant agricultural conglomerate is ready to sue her. Good thing V. I. is brave, brash, tough, resilient, good-hearted, and so darn bent on stamping out injustice that she survives it all. A whopping good story that will have Paretsky's millions of fans screaming for more
