Fallout

Resumen del libro

For more than thirty years, and across seventeen novels, Sara Paretsky and V. I. Warshawski have revolutionized mystery fiction. They have been honored with virtually every major award for the genre. They have garnered praise from authors as diverse as P. D. James and Stieg Larsson (whose hero in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a Paretsky fan). Their books have sold 1.5 million copies in the US alone. Now, for the first time ever, Paretsky takes her hero - Victoria Iphigenia by birth, V. I. by profession, Vic to her friends - 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. But as the mysteries accumulate, so does the body count. And in this, her toughest case, not even V. I. is safe.
