Synopsis

"No one, male or female, writes better P.I. books than Paretsky."—The Denver Post V. I. Warshawski isn't crazy about going back to her old south Chicago neighborhood, but a promise is something she always keeps. Caroline, a childhood friend, has a dying mother and aproblem—after twenty-five years she wants V.I. to find the father she never knew. But when V.I. starts probing into the past, she stumbles onto some long-buried secrets—and a very new corpse. Now she's stirring up a deadly mix of big business and chemical corruption that may become a toxic shock to a snooper who knows too much."[Paretsky's] work does more than turn the genre upside down: her books are beautifully paced and plotted, and the dialogue is fresh and smart."—Newsweek "Her best and boldest work to date . . . a criminal investigation that is a genuine heroic quest."—The New York Times Book Review

Lots of action requiring suspension of disbelief led to a conclusion worthy of a g......more

Wow. This is one THRILLING book! I couldn't put it down! V.I. Warshawski faces her most PTSD-inducing case in the series so far and manages to dig up a lot of information on her own past, both of which promise to give her nightmares for a long time. V.I. would rather drive into hell than go back to......more

Goodreads review by Mary JL on December 28, 2009

This is one of the earleir V. I. Warshawski novels by Sara Paretsky. It is quite good and a good example of the quality of her series. One reason I liked this better than some of the books is that Vic is drawn book to her roots in the old South Chicago neighborhood she was raised in. Now, she is seei......more
