Chicago private eye V.I. Warshawski knows from the start that Consuelo Alvarado's baby is trouble. Consuelo is sixteen. Diabetic. And the daughter of a friend. When she goes into labor too early, even V.I.'s wild drive to get her to the hospital can't save either Consuelo or her child. Soon V.I. is investigating possible malpractice at the emergency room--and falling for a doctor who works there. Mixing business and love is always bad medicine, but V.I. finds herself listening to her heart, not her head. And when a brutal murder and the violent destruction of a women's clinic put her at the center of a very dirty conspiracy, justice may be the only remedy for a hurt that cuts deep...and chills right to the bone....

Review
'How enjoyable to settle down with a new book by Sara Paretsky.'
(Sunday Telegraph )'With the creation of V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky did more than anyone to change the face of contemporary women's fiction.'
(Express on Sunday )'Warshawski's darkest outing, with no sign that her creator is flagging. Paretsky has written a novel in which a great deal is stripped bare, including Warshawski's innermost anxieties about herself, producing a narrative as gripping as it is emotionally wrenching.'
(JOAN SMITH, Sunday Times ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.About the Author
Sara Paretsky, the author of the V.I. Warshawski novels, was named 2011 Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America.

Format:Paperback
These detective stories set in Chicago are engrossing. Ok, so I don't now anything about Chicago and the main character doesn't even have a mobile phone - these books predate the cell and other techno stuff - but the plots are good, the characters engaging and the language vibrant. I'm working my way through them all.

I am working my way through Paretsky's back catalogue having heard a novel adapted for radio. Never disappoints. Strong characters and faultless plot.

Format:Paperback
The novel follows Warshawski through her investigations, but the pace is slow, the incedents dull and few. Her portrayal of many of the events seem unreal and as a reader you feel distant from them. The pace is kept similar all the way through without changing pace even at the threatening events. We get a sence of her proud self and strength, but less of her feelings and emotions, which makes for a less than intriguing novel.
