About the Book

Sara Paretsky, one of the most legendary crime writers of all time, presents an exclusive and thrilling short story featuring beloved investigator V.I. Warshawski as a ten-year-old girl on her first investigation.

***********

V.I. Warshawski developed her strength and sense of justice at a very early age.  

It’s 1966 and on the south side of Chicago racial tensions are at an all-time high. Dr. Martin Luther King is leading marches at Marquette Park and many in the neighborhood are very angry. 

With nothing but a bicycle, eighty-two cents in her pocket, and her Brownie camera hanging from her wrist, Victoria sneaks off to Marquette Park alone to protect her father Tony, a police officer who is patrolling the crowds. 

What begins as a small adventure and a quest to find her father and make sure he is safe turns into something far more dangerous.  

As the day goes on and the conflict at the park reaches a fever pitch Victoria realizes she must use her courage and ingenuity if she wants to keep herself and her family members out of harm’s way.

  2. I used to read a lot of Sara Paretsky's books, but somehow her series got lost in all the other series I try to keep up with. Always liked V.I. This one sounds fun with our 'great heroine' as a young girl. I'll watch for it!
