Reviews"… superb… This strong outing shows why the tough, fiercely independent, dog-loving private detective continues to survive." - Publisher's Weekly Starred Review "Edgy… 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 celebration… Paretsky's the queen of the hard-boiled for good reasons. Her characters are ordinary people. Her dialogue is pitch perfect… 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 mobsters… 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, "… superb… This strong outing shows why the tough, fiercely independent, dog-loving private detective continues to survive." – Publisher's Weekly Starred Review "Edgy… 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.
