"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 a problem--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 ReviewBinding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Sara ParetskyPublisher: DellPublished: 05/01/1989ISBN: 9780440204206Pages: 384Weight: 0.41lbsSize: 6.78h x 4.25w x 1.08dReview Citations: Beyond the Cover Author Interv 10/01/2000 pg. 13
