When V.I. Warshawski gets word that her close friend and mentor Lotty Herschelβs nephew has become a murder suspect, the legendary detective will do everything she can to save him. The cops found Felix Herschelβs name and phone number on the unknown victimβs remains, but Felix insists he doesnβt know why.
As Vic digs deeper, she discovers that the dead man was obsessed with Middle Eastern archeologyβthe first clue in a bewildering case that leads to a stolen artifact and a shadowy network of international criminals. But the trouble multiplies when Vicβs long-lost niece, Reno, goes missing. A beautiful young woman with a heartbreaking past and a promising future, Reno is harboring a secret that may cost her her life. V.I. can hear the clock ticking on her nieceβs safety and is frantic in her efforts to find her.
Vic wonβt leave any stone unturned until these very personal cases are clearedβa complex investigation that will entangle the Russian mob, ISIS backers, rogue ICE agents, a nefarious corporation preying on the poor, and a shady network of stock scams and stolen antiquities stretching from Chicago to the East Indies and the Middle East.
In Shell Game, no one can be trusted and nothing is what it seems, except for the indomitable detective and her thirst for justice.
