Summary

This collection of fourteen short stories-- eight of which feature detective V.I. Warshawski-- are a celebration of Paretsky's exceptional storytelling skill and a searing exploration of the dark conspiracies and desperate human acts hiding in plain sight. The stories range from V.I.'s very first investigation (at the age of ten) to a new story in which V.I. treads the line between justice and vengeance. The other stories involve a young girl involved in espionage when she befriends a mouse in a laboratory; a New York detective and a British aristocrat teaming up in Chicago during the World's Far; and many more. -- adapted from back cover
