About the Book

V.I. Warshawski's wayward niece Petra draws her to an edgy club and the Body Artist, who uses her own flesh as a canvas and invites the audience to do the same. Dark and disturbing, her performance awakens demons in two spectators: a young woman who paints her inner trauma on the Body Artist's back, and a Gulf War vet who seems to be experience post-traumatic stress disorder. When the young woman is shot and dies in V.I.'s arms, the vet's family employ V.I. to find the truth and prove their son's innocence. V.I.'s investigation uncovers the untold misery and evil in a snakepit of corruption.

Review :
Paretsky has been putting her private investigator through her paces since 1982, changing perceptions of women in crime fiction through the creation of a fiercely independent female detective. She keeps her brand of politicised noir fresh by responding to issues - social, cultural and political as well as gender - in contemporary life . . . Tackling the politics of the Iraq War and ideologies of corporate greed where the human body is devalued, Paretsky is firing on all cylinders - Metro Very readable - The Times This is the 14th case for the feminist gumshoe and it has all the hallmarks and energy of its predecessors. - Sunday Telegraph With the creation of V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky did more than anyone to change the face of contemporary women's fiction. - Express on Sunday She is writing with the kind of passion for social justice that inspired Chandler and Hammett . . . a narrative as gripping as it is emotionally wrenching. - Joan Smith, Sunday Times Some crime series grow stale over time, but there's no sign of fatigue here. This is partly because the recurring characters continue to develop and engage the reader, and partly because of the moral intelligence that informs the writing. - Spectator It's hard not to get caught up in her passion . . . Snappy dialogue, tight plotting and realistic situations make P
