Tunnel Vision

Tunnel Vision by Sara Paretsky Stubbornness has landed
private eye V.I. Warshawski in big trouble at her Chicago
office. With her grand old Loop building set to be razed
she’s become a hold-out tenant amid frayed wiring and
scary empty corridors. Then she finds a homeless woman
with three kids in the basement and before she can rescue
them they disappear. Worst of all she’s been implicated in
a murder—after the body of Deirdre Messenger a prominent
lawyer’s wife turns up sprawled across her desk. V.I. who
had volunteered with Deirdre at a women’s shelter suspects
her death is linked to a case of upper-class domestic
abuse so slickly concealed that the police refuse to
believe it. Increasingly at odds with the cops V.I. is
blindly plunging ahead after the truth. And her path may
lead to corruption at the highest levels.or deep into the
abandoned tunnels beneath Chicago’s streets where secrets
are hiding in the dark like a child’s—or V.I.’s—worst
nightmare. “Riveting . . . a ripsnorting climax . . .
[Warshawski is] street-smart feisty yet appealingly
vulnerable.”— Chicago Sun-Times
