Product Information

The audacious new V. I. Warshawski novel from the New York Times -bestselling author "Doctors take days off--why not PIs?" V.I. Warshawski demands. But when America's hardest-working private eye goes clubbing, a stranger is shot and dies in her arms. V.I. has been visiting Club Gouge, Chicago's edgiest nightspot, where a woman known as the Body Artist turns her naked body into a canvas for the audience to paint on. The show attracts all kinds of people, from a menacing off-duty cop to Ukrainian mobsters and Iraq war vets--and V.I.'s impetuous cousin, Petra. A tormented young painter shows up, too, and the intricate designs she creates on the Body Artist drives on of the vets into a violent rage. When the painter is shot, the cops figure it's an easy collar--PTSD vet goes off the rails, stalks then kills young woman. But the vet's family hires V.I. to clear his name, and the detective uncovers a chain of ugly truths that stretch all the way from Iraq to Chicago's South Side.

Reviews
"â€¦ superbâ€¦ This strong outing shows why the tough, fiercely independent, dog-loving private detective continues to survive." - Publisher's Weekly Starred Review "Edgyâ€¦ It's good to see Warshawski--that can-do, no-nonsense gal who barged into the man-world of fictional gumshoes in 1982--still saving the innocent." - St. Louis Beacon "A new V.I. Warshawski novel is always a cause for celebrationâ€¦ Paretsky's the queen of the hard-boiled for good reasons. Her characters are ordinary people. Her dialogue is pitch perfectâ€¦ The story revolves around bullies--personal, sexual and corporate ones--and Warshawski is smart enough to know bullies can be beaten." - Minneapolis Star Tribune "The Fourteenth entry in the V.I. Warshawski series finds the smart-mouthed Chicago PI approaching 50 but unafraid of mixing it up with some thuggish Ukrainian mobstersâ€¦ V.I. proves as persistent as ever in a case that ranges from the edgy urban nightclub scene to the corporate interests making a fortune from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, as always, the city of Chicago, from its gentrified lofts to its working-class bars, is given a starring role. Another solid entry in a popular series." - Booklist "Paretsky plays out her trademark political and social themes not with rhetoric but with a compelling story of lives shattered by pride, greed and fear of the unknown." - Kirkus Review, "â€¦ superbâ€¦ This strong outing shows why the tough, fiercely independent, dog-loving private detective continues to survive."
