From Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author, comes another V.I. Warshawski novel. When Chicago Black Hawks hockey legend Boom Boom Warshawski drowns in Lake Michigan, his private-eye cousin, the intrepid V.I. Warshawski, questions the accidental death report and rumors of suicide. Armed with a bottle of Black Label and a Smith and Wesson, V.I. follows a trail of violence and corruption to the center of the Windy City's powerful shipping industry. Dodging attempts on her life with characteristic grit and humor, V.I. wends her way through a maze of grain elevators and thousand-ton freighters to ferret out Boom Boom's killer.
V.I. gets tangled in a web of lies, extortion, blackmail, sabotage, and murder as the search for her cousin Boom Boom's killer leads her into the heart of Chicago's powerful shipping industry. (V.I.) is wonderful company and a rich discovery awaiting those who have yet to meet her.--Los Angeles Times Book Review. Reissue.
