"Sara Paretsky is a genius." --LEE CHILD
From New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky, a collection
of thrilling crime and detective short stories, many featuring legendary
detective V.I. Warshawski--including a brand-new V.I. story.
New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky is the master of
twisting suspense and compelling plots. She has been hailed by the crime
community as "a legend" (Harlan Coben) and "one of the all-time greats"
(Karin Slaughter). Her acclaimed novels featuring detective V.I.
Warshawski have become one of the most celebrated series in modern
fiction. Now in this spellbinding collection, Paretsky showcases her
extraordinary talents with fourteen short stories, including one new
V.I. story and seven other classics featuring the indomitable detective.
In "Miss Bianca," a young girl becomes involved in espionage when she
befriends a mouse in a laboratory that is conducting dark experiments.
Ten-year-old V.I. Warshawski appears in "Wildcat," embarking on her very
first investigation to save her father. A hardboiled New York detective
and elderly British aristocrat team up to reveal a murderer in Chicago
during the World's Fair in "Murder at the Century of Progress." In the
new title story, "Love & Other Crimes," V.I. treads the line between
justice and vengeance when the wrongful firing of a family friend makes
him a murder suspect.
For longtime fans of V.I. Warshawski, new readers discovering her for
the first time, or any lover of crime and bone-chilling suspense, Love
& Other Crimes is a celebration of Paretsky's exceptional storytelling
skill and a searing exploration of the dark conspiracies and desperate
human acts hiding in plain sight.
