Fallout

For the first time ever, Paretsky takes her hero V.I. Warshawski out of Chicago... and into Kansas, where V. I. is on the trail of a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star. Accompanied by her dog, V. I. tracks her quarry through a university town, across fields where missile silos once flourished... and into a past riven by long-simmering racial tensions, a past that holds the key to the mysteries of the present. Suspenseful and provocative, witty and intelligent!
