A Washington Post Best Mystery of 2015
V.I. Warshawski finds herself in a dangerous web of politics in the latest mystery from theNew York Times bestselling author of Critical Mass.
No one would accuse V.I. Warshawski of backing down from a fight, but she'd happily avoid tangling with Chicago political bosses. Yet that's what she ends up doing when she responds to a plea for help from an old high school fling, Frank Guzzo.
Frank's mother Stella was convicted of killing his kid sister, but now that she's out of prison, she's looking for exoneration. Even though the Warshawskis and Stella never got along, V.I. agrees to make a few inquiries after she sees how hard life has been on Frank and her other childhood friends.
Only, that small favor leads her straight into the vipers' nest of Illinois politics—and soon her main question isn't about Stella's case but whether or not she'll make it out of this investigation alive...
Includes a Bonus Short Story!
