Description
Chicago politics-past, present, and future-take center stage in this complex and compelling V.I. Warshawki novel from New York Times bestselling author Sara Peretsky.
Tracking down missing persons is part of V.I. Warshawski's job. But Lamont Gadsden has been missing for more than forty years-last seen heading out into the 1967 blizzard, in the midst of Chicago's racial unrest. V.I. figured the search would be futile. She didn't realize it would be lethal...or lead to troubling discoveries about her own family. And when her young cousin Petra disappears, an angry preacher, a jailed gangbanger, and politics from both past and present interconnect-and plunge V.I. into a mystery as unsettling as the '60s themselves.
