PARETSKY, SARA Hard Time (V.I. Warshawski Novels
Dell September 12, 2 0-440-22470-5 / 9780440224709 Paperback Near Fine
V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretsky's tough-talking, dog-loving, justice-seeking private investigator has been missing in action since 1994, when she ratte d out a big city political scandal on the streets of Chicago in Tunnel Visi on. But now our Vic is back for her ninth adventure--a wee bit older, a tad more jaded, and as broke as ever. It all begins when Warshawski weasels an invitation to the hottest event in town, a glitzy party celebrating televi sion's brightest new star, Lacey Dowell, or, as she's better known, the Mad Virgin. Vic's old pal (and one-time fling) Murray Ryerson now works for Gl obal Enterprises, the corporate giant behind the Lacey sensation. On the wa y back from the party, Vic almost runs over a woman lying in the middle of the road, her Mad Virgin T-shirt soaked in blood from an earlier beating. T he victim, Nicola Aguinaldo, dies in hospital, and Vic quickly realizes tha t a particularly nasty cop, Detective Lemour, intends to frame her for vehi cular homicide. Her anger at these absurd charges hits the boiling point wh en Nicola's body disappears from the morgue before an autopsy can be carrie d out. Why was this woman, an escapee from the local Coolis prison, so impo rtant to Lemour? And why does the whole Mad Virgin phenomenon smell so rott en? "I didn't want to dive into Nicola Aguinaldo's wreck," V.I. grouses, "b ut it felt as though someone had climbed up behind me on the high board to give me a shove." In her search for answers, Warshawski runs afoul of Globa l Enterprises magnate Edmund Trant, and Robert Baladine, the head honcho of the nation's biggest security firm. They have enough clout to have V.I. th

Paretsky, Sara Total Recall: A V.I. Warshawski Novel
Delacorte Press September 4, 20 0-385-31366-7 / 9780385313667 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not a n Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. Already having established herself as an inventor of the female private eye and a master of the mystery format, Paretsky skillfully expands the form to tackle several convergent themes in a moving novel of discovery and redemption. V.I. "Vic" Warshawski has a traditional mystery to solve: the life insurance policy of black factory worker Aaron Sommers had been faithfully maintained, paid for weekly even when other demands surely seemed of greater urgency. But when Aaron's widow needed to collect, the company denied the claim, saying the policy had been cashed a decade earlier. That leads Vic to Ajax Life Insurance Co. and Ralph Devereux, whom she encountered in her very first case, Indemnity Only (1982). Her investigation is subtly intertwined with another much more personal and wrenching inquiry into the appearance of a man calling himself Paul Radbuka, whose recovered memory as a child survivor of the Holocaust leads him to claim a kinship with Vic's friend Max Loewenthal.
