Years ago V.I. Warshawski’s Aunt Rosa treated the detective’s beloved mother in an unforgiveable way. Now, after she’s accused of stealing $3 million from the Dominican priory where she works, Rosa calls upon the ties of blood to clear her name.
V.I. is not prepared to forgive so easily. Until suddenly no one else – the FBI, a threatening phone caller, and even Aunt Rosa herself – appears to want her on the case either. V.I. turns to an old friend for help. But the stakes are higher than she could have realised . . .

How enjoyable to settle down with a new book by Sara Paretsky.
With the creation of V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky did more than anyone to change the face of contemporary women's fiction.
Warshawski's darkest outing, with no sign that her creator is flagging. Paretsky has written a novel in which a great deal is stripped bare, including Warshawski's innermost anxieties about herself, producing a narrative as gripping as it is emotionally wrenching.
