reviewed on + 166 more book reviews


In this 13th book of the popular series, Chicago P I, V.I. Warshawski, returns to her old South Side neighborhood, now in a sad state of decline, to help her former basketball coach with a girls' team at the local high school. But her efforts to interest local businessmen in supporting the team lead her into an increasingly complex tangle of exploited low-wage workers, a storefront preacher who may or may not be one of the good guys, and the life-or-death conflicts at the center of a large fabulously wealthy family who live in tony Barrington Hills, but run cut throat businesses in places like the South Side.
