SARA PARETSKY / MARIA JOSE GARCIA RIPOLL
Hotels are catching on fire in Chicago, nobody knows why; however, it smells of corruption. V. I. Warshawski, the elegant and harsh detective in Paretsky's novels, never avoids a noble cause, mainly if it is to avoid the exploitation of ethnic minorities and that great marginalized majority, women. In her usual police style, V.I. investigates a new case where police corruption and political scandals are mixed with personal drama.
