A knock at the door in the middle of the night pulls a Chicago PI into a web of crime and corruption in this "captivating" New York Times bestseller (The Baltimore Sun). V.I. "Vic" Warshawski's alcoholic aunt turns up at her door at three in the morning, accompanied by an addict friend after the hotel she's been living in burns down, and Vic is soon on the trail of an arsonist. But then the private investigator starts getting ominous messages, and her aunt's friend is found dead . . . with Vic's driver's license in their possession. To unravel the mystery and keep herself alive, Vic will have to delve into the dark world of the city's unhoused population--and the even darker world of Chicago's wealthy and powerful--in this steely thriller by a winner of multiple Anthony, Edgar, and Dagger Awards. "One gritty good read . . . V.I. is a worthy heir to Marlowe." --Daily News (New York) "Fast-paced." --The New York Times Book Review "America's most convincing and engaging professional female private eye." --Entertainment Weekly "V.I. Warshawski is good company." --Los Angeles Times

Sara Paretsky returns with the most extraordinary novel of her legendary career.For the first time, Sara Paretsky takes her legendary hero--Victoria Iphigenia by birth, V. I. by profession, and Vic to her friends--on her very first case out of Chicago, when the hunt for a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star leads her to Kansas. Accompanied by her dog, V. I. tracks the pair through a university town, across fields dotted with Cold War era missile silos ... and into a past riven by long-simmering racial tensions. She hopes her search will yield the key to the mysteries of the present, but every answer V.I. finds unveils another puzzling question--and leads to more dead bodies. And in her most far-reaching and disturbing case to date, not even the seasoned V. I. is safe.

A revealing look at the power of speaking out, Writing in an Age of Silence describes Paretski's coming of age in a time of great possibility, during the civil rights movement, the peace movement, and the women's movement. Bestselling crime-writer Sarah Paretsky has won critical acclaim for her V.I. Warshawski novels, centered around one of the first and most popular female investigators in contemporary fiction. In this fascinating and personal account, Paretsky describes a life shaped by the desire to act. From the feminist movement-which triggered her aspirations to write and shaped the character of her female detective-to the Patriot Act and the liberties we have lost, Paretsky describes the struggle of one individual to find a voice. A moving call to action, Writing in an Age of Silence chronicles the social changes that have shaped contemporary America, and mirrors a desire for freedom, both personal and political, that many Americans will relate to today.
