Product description

Review

An intriguing look at Warshawski's ancestral roots. ― Chicago Tribune

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

It's hard not to get caught up in her passion . . . Snappy dialogue, tight plotting and realistic situations make Paretsky's unapologetically politicised thrillers a pleasure to read, whatever your viewpoint. ― Daily Mail

The thing about Sara Paretsky is, she's tough . . . she doesn't flinch from examining old social injustices others might find too shameful (and too painful) to dig up ― New York Times

Some crime series grow stale over time, but there's no sign of fatigue here. This is partly because the recurring characters continue to develop and engage the reader, and partly because of the moral intelligence that informs the writing. ― Spectator

Paretsky has been putting her private investigator through her paces since 1982, changing perceptions of women in crime fiction through the creation of a fiercely independent female detective. She keeps her brand of politicised noir fresh by responding to issues - social, cultural and political as well as gender - in contemporary life . . . Paretsky is firing on all cylinders ― Metro --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Book Description

A unique collection of nine short stories featuring crime-busting private detective, V.I. Warshawski, written by one of America's greatest female crime writers. --This text refers to the paperback edition.
