Sara Paretsky V I Warshawski Series Books 57 Blood Shot Burn Marks Guardian Angel
Author: Sara Paretsky

BLOOD SHOT — V.I. Warshawski isn?t crazy about going back to her old south Chicago neighborhood, but a promise is something she always keeps. Caroline, a childhood friend, has a dying mother and a problem?after twenty-five years she wants V.I. to find the father she never knew. But when V.I. starts probing into the past, she not only finds out w... more »here all the bodies are buried?she stumbles onto a very new corpse. Now she?s stirring up a deadly mix of big business and chemical corruption that may become a toxic shock to a snooper who knows too much. BURN MARKS

Elena, V.I. Warshawski?s derelict aunt, re-enters her niece?s life at three in the morning. Burned out of her SRO hotel, Elena has turned to V.I. for a place to stay. V.I. vows that it will be a short visit and uses some old political contacts to find Elena a room. When V.I. is hired to investigate the fire at the hotel, her aunt disappears, and her aunt?s young friend is found dead at a construction site. V.I. is warned off the case by both a high-ranking police officer and a major Chicago developer?who also happens to be a close friend of the chairman of the Cook County Board. After three attempts on her life, V.I. doesn?t know whether it?s the politicians, the police, or the developers who are after her. As this, her sixth investigation, takes her deep into the workings of both the construction business and Cook County politics, V.I. discovers a connection between the two that brings her to a confrontation where the line between friend and enemy is redrawn to frightening effect.GUARDIAN ANGEL

Racine Avenue is going upscale?bad news for hand-to-mouth residents like V. I. Warshawski. As tax bills skyrocket, newcomers pressure old inhabitants into fixing up their homes or moving out. To the yuppies on the block the worst eyesore belongs to old Hattie Frizell, whose yard is ?returning to native prairie, complete with hubcaps.? Their block club wants her and her five dogs gone. V. I. and Hattie have a relationship of sorts: one of those five dogs gave V. I.?s dog Peppy an unwelcome litter. When Hattie slips in her bath and is rushed unconscious to the hospital, V. I. feels compelled to get involved. But neighboring lawyer Todd Pichea and his wife, Chrissie, act swiftly to get the courts to make them Hattie?s legal guardians. V. I. returns from a business trip to find they?ve put the old woman?s dogs to sleep. Furious, V. I. starts poking around in the Picheas? affairs, hoping to turn up something scandalous enough to make them lose their guardianship. Hattie isn?t the detective?s only worry. When her downstairs neighbor?s oldest friend disappears, Mr. Contreras persuades V. I. to investigate. As she probes both problems, V. I. uncovers a scandal linking one of Chicago?s oldest industrial families to union fraud and a politically connected bank. Her investigation takes her into the depths of the steamy Sanitary Canal and brings her eyeball-to-eyeball with her ex-husband, Dick Yarborough. When her dear friend Lotty Herschel and her own lawyer turn against her, V. I. is left alone to struggle with the most serious case of her career.
