NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Another triumph for Ms. Paretsky, her most captivating novel yet . . . V.I. herself [is] undoubtedly one of the best-written characters in mystery fiction."--The Baltimore Sun
Someone knocking on the door at 3 A.M. is never good news. For V.I. Warshawski, the bad news arrives in the form of her wacky, unwelcome aunt Elena. The fire that has just burned down a sleazy SRO hotel has brought Elena to V.I. s doorstep. Uncovering an arsonist--and the secrets hidden behind Elena s boozy smile--will send V.I. into the seedy world of Chicago s homeless . . . into the Windy City s backroom deals and bedroom politics, where new schemers and old cronies team up to get V.I. off the case--by hook, by crook, or by homicide.
"One gritty good read . . . V.I. is a worthy heir to Marlowe!"--Daily News (New York)
