Praise for Sara Paretsky
BREAKDOWN
"Riveting...Warshawski once again proves a dogged champion for the truth at any cost."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
"Both Paretsky and she sharp-tongued justice-seeker, V.I. Warshawski, remain formidable in the masterfully suspenseful fifteenth novel in this superb and adored Chicago-set series. ... V.I. reigns as crime fiction's spiky, headstrong warrior woman of conscience, and Paretsky, classy champion of the powerless, has never been more imaginative, rueful, transfixing, and righteous."--"Booklist" (starred review)
"Plotted with all Paretsky's customary generosity, this standout entry harnesses her heroine's righteous anger to some richly deserving targets, all linked together in a truly amazing finale."-- "Kirkus" (starred review)

But once V.I. Warshawski, the intrepid private eye who sees herself as "a street fighter, a product of the mills and ethnic wars of Chicago's Steel City," has rescued the girls from the trauma of discovering the murder victim, the true villains come into sharper focus."--Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times"
"One of the many pleasures of Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski novels is that the sharp-tongued, short-tempered detective often seems to be following clues that lead not just to the heart of whatever mystery is at hand, but also into the red-hot center of the zeitgeist itself... the dialogue is sharp, the satire of politics and media intuitions downrightbiting, and the descr
