Legendary detective V.I. Warshawski uncovers a mystery with roots
dating back to the Civil War in this edge-of-your-seat thriller
from New York Times bestseller Sara Paretsky. V.I. Warshawski is
famous for her cool under fire, her sardonic humor, and her
unflinching courage. All that changes when a case ends with a
father killing the child she'd been hired to find. She's
second-guessing herself, forgetting to eat, forgetting her workout.
Her worried friends send her down to Kansas for a weekend of
college basketball; Angela, one of her protégées, is a
Northwestern star. And that's when V.I.'s troubles really begin.
Sabrina, one of Angela's roommates, disappears and V.I. agrees to
stay behind to try to find her. Finding a missing person in a town
where she doesn't know anyone and has no snitches is hard, but not
as hard as the local reaction to the detective. When V.I. finds
Sabrina close to death in a drug house, the mother's gratitude
quickly turns to suspicion. V.I. finds herself in the FBI's
crosshairs, and the young men running the county's opioid
distribution are not happy. When V.I. discovers a local
troublemaker's dead body in the drug house a few days later, she is
pitched headlong into a local land-use battle with roots going back
to the Civil War. Today's combatants are just as willing as
opponents in the 1860s to kill to settle their differences. V.I.'s
survival depends on keeping one step ahead of players in a game she
doesn't even know she's playing.
