The seventh novel in the V.I. Warhawski crime series, set in Chicago, from prize-winning author Sara Paretsky.
V.I. Warshawski\'s Chicago neighbourhood is prospering. As it\'s out with the old and in with the new, long-term residents like elderly Hattie Frizell find themselves viciously under threat . . .
But that\'s not all that\'s troubling V.I. When the body of her neighbour\'s friend is found washed up in the Sanitary Canal, her investigations lead her to uncover a world of corporate conspiracy and political corruption involving some of Chicago\'s most prestigious industrial players. And after several attempts on her life, it seems that this time, V.I. may have dug too deep . . .
Rezension:
With each novel Paretsky lets intrepid detective V I Warshawski (Aka \'Vic\') take a few more physical lumps, though the more interesting dings are emotional ones. Here Paretsky constructs and maintains one monster of a plot . . . The author\'s gift for finding the precise urban setting and crafting her narrative jigsaw puzzle with unerring accuracy remains intact. Booklist
