Book description
Three million dollars in share certificates have been stolen from a
Dominican priory, and VI Warshawski doesn't want to find out why.
Aust Rosa, the priory's treasurer, wants her on the case, and VI has
never forgiven Rosa for something she did a long time ago. But VI
changes her mind and the case changes its course when she visits the
priory. Suddenly everyone - her aunt, the FBI, and a mysterious phone
caller threatening to pour acid on VI's beautiful eyes - tells her to
let sleeping dogs lie. Then one of VI's dearest friends is murdered…
With her customary skill and with the help of a few stiff drinks, VI
plunges into the affair. She needs all her wit, ingenuity and
femininity, as well as her gun-handling and karate-chopping skills.
