Paretsky, Sara Hardball (V.I. Warshawski Novel)
Putnam Pub Group 2009 0399155937 / 9780399155932 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Chicago politics-past, present, and future-take center stage in New York Times-bestselling author Sara Paretsky's brilliant new V. I. Warshawski novel. Chicago's unique brand of ball is sixteen-inch slow pitch, played in leagues all over the city for more than a century. But in politics, in business, and in law enforcement, the game is hardball. When V. I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who's been missing for four decades, a search that she figured would be futile becomes lethal. Old skeletons from the city's racially charged history, as well as haunting family secrets-her own and those of the elderly sisters who hired her-rise up to brush her back from the plate with a vengeance. A young cousin whom she's never met arrives from Kansas City to work on a political campaign; a nun who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. dies without revealing crucial evidence; and on the city's South Side, people spit when she shows up. Afraid to learn that her adored father might have been a bent cop, V. I. still takes the investigation all the way to its frightening end.

Paretsky, Sara Total Recall: A V.I. Warshawski Novel
New York, New York, U.S.A. Delacorte Pubns Inc 2001 0385313667 / 9780385313667 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - First Edition (September, 2001) - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $25.95 - Tight spine - Bright pages - 414 pages - "For V.I., the journey begins with a national conference in downtown Chicago, where angry protesters are calling for the recovery of Holocaust assets. Replayed on the evening news is the scene of a slight man who has stood up at the conference to tell an astonishing story of a childhood shattered by the Holocaust - a story that has devastating consequences for V.I.'s cherished friend and mentor, Lotty Herschel." "Lotty was a girl of nine when she emigrated from Austria to England, one of a group of children wrenched from their parents and saved from the Nazi terror just before the war broke out. Now stunningly - impossibly - it appears that someone from that long-lost past may have returned. With the help of a recovered-memory therapist, Paul Radbuka has recently learned his true identity. But is he who he claims to be? Or is he a cunning imposter who has usurped someone else's history...a history Lotty has tried to forget for over fifty years?" As a frightened V.I. watches her friend unravel, she sets out to help in the only way she can: by investigating Radbuka's past. Already working on a difficult case for a poor family cheated of their life insurance, she tries to balance Lotty's needs with her client's, only to find that both are spiraling into a whirlpool of international crime that stretches from Switzerland and Germany to Chicago's South Side. As the atrocities of the past reach out to engulf the living, V.I. struggles to decide whose memories of a terrible war she can trust, and moves closer to a chilling realization of the truth - a truth that almost destroys her oldest friend.

Paretsky, Sara Tunnel Vision: A V.I. Warshawski Novel
Delacorte Press 1994 038529932x / 9780385299329 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Near-new condition. Price inside dustcover: $21.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. 432 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Her office building is falling down, the unpaid bills are mounting up. V. I. Warshawski needs a lucrative case and needs it fast. Instead, her most important client demands that she find a community service job to keep his computer-hacking son out of jail. At the same time, V.I. is worried about a homeless family she found in the basement of her office building. Her search for emergency shelter sends her to Home Free, a charitable organization for the homeless headed by an old college flame. She's puzzled by Home Free's cold response, and even more troubled when they start giving the runaround to a group of tradeswomen she knows. Hard up for money, V.I. resists investigating Home Free until one of its board members is murdered in the detective's own office. The track she follows leads her to the trail of tormented runaways, abused spouses, and a cynical financial fraud that stretches from Chicago's banks to the halls of Congress. As she nears the dramatic climax of her punishing case, with her emotional and physical resources taxed to the limit, V.I. finds she must choose between her private happiness and her sense of justice...and learns that the hardest questions she must answer are the ones she asks herself. Tunnel Vision marks the eighth appearance of V. I. Warshawski, who's been called "the most engaging woman in detective fiction since Dorothy Sayers's Harriet Vane" (Newsweek), "the detective mystery fans have been waiting for" (Time), and "a gumshoe for modern times" (People).
