Among the first, and perhaps the most compelling, female
private investigators of contemporary fiction, Sara
Paretsky's incomparable character V. I. Warshawski at last
returns to the page in her first full-length appearance
since 1994's Tunnel Vision. Hard Time is the
work of a master--a riveting novel of suspense that is
indisputably Paretsky's best V.I. Warshawski novel yet.
Multimedia conglomerate Global Entertainment has purchased
the Chicago Herald-Star, forcing the paper's staff to
scramble to stay employed. Reporter Murray Ryerson, V.I.'s
longtime friend and sometime rival, manages to reinvent
himself as the host of a television show on Global's
network.
On her way home from a party celebrating
Murray's debut, V.I. almost runs over a woman lying in the
street. Stopping to help, V.I. soon learns that her Good
Samaritan act will drop her squarely in a boiling intrigue.
In a case that forces her to go head-to-head with one of the
world's largest providers of private security and prison
services, a case that exposes dark hidden truths behind the
razzle-dazzle of the entertainment industry, V.I. will be
ahead of the game if she gets out alive.
