Among the first, and perhaps the most compelling, female private investigators of contemporary fiction, Sara Paretsky s incomparable character V. I. Warshawski at last returns to the page in her first full-length appearance since 1994 s Tunnel Vision. Hard Time is the work of a master--a riveting novel of suspense that is indisputably Paretsky s best V.I. Warshawski novel yet.Multimedia conglomerate Global Entertainment has purchased the Chicago Herald-Star, forcing the paper s staff to scramble to stay employed. Reporter Murray Ryerson, V.I. s longtime friend and sometime rival, manages to reinvent himself as the host of a television show on Global s network. On her way home from a party celebrating Murray s debut, V.I. almost runs over a woman lying in the street. Stopping to help, V.I. soon learns that her Good Samaritan act will drop her squarely in a boiling intrigue. In a case that forces her to go head-to-head with one of the world s largest providers of private security and prison services, a case that exposes dark hidden truths behind the razzle-dazzle of the entertainment industry, V.I. will be ahead of the game if she gets out alive.
