Book description
The eighth novel in the V. I. Warhawski crime series, set in Chicago,
from prize-winning author Sara Paretsky. The discovery of a destitute
family in her office basement leads V. I. Warshawski to homeless charity
Home Free. But the organisation's frosty reception gives V. I. cause for
concern, especially when one of its board members is then found
murdered, sprawled across her desk . . . Taking on the case, V. I.
uncovers a framework of domestic abuse and fraud which spreads across
the whole of Chicago, as well as into the abandoned tunnels beneath the
city streets - where more dark secrets have been buried . . . 'It's
hard not to get caught up in her passion . . . Snappy dialogue, tight
plotting and realistic situations make Paretsky's unapologetically
politicised thrillers a pleasure to read, whatever your viewpoint.'
