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.

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping, Mystica.
DeleteIt does sound good.
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!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read the book, Kay.

I don't think I've ever read any of her books. This one sounds interesting.
