Chicago politics-past, present, and future-takecenter stage in New York Times-bestselling authorSara Paretsky's brilliant new V. I. Warshawski novel.
Chicago's unique brand of ball is sixteen-inch slow pitch,played in leagues all over the city for more than a century.But in politics, in business, and in law enforcement,the game is hardball.
When V. I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who's been missingfor four decades, a search that she figured would be futilebecomes lethal. Old skeletons from the city's racially chargedhistory, as well as haunting family secrets-her own and thoseof the elderly sisters who hired her-rise up to brush her backfrom the plate with a vengeance. A young cousin whom she'snever met arrives from Kansas City to work on a political campaign;a nun who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. dieswithout revealing crucial evidence; and on the city's South Side,people spit when she shows up. Afraid to learn that her adoredfather might have been a bent cop, V. I. still takes the investigationall the way to its frightening end.
