"Sara Paretsky is a genius. " --LEE CHILDFrom New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky, a collection of thrilling crime and detective short stories, many featuring legendary detective V. I. Warshawski--including a brand-new V. I. story. New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky is the master of twisting suspense and compelling plots. She has been hailed by the crime community as "a legend" (Harlan Coben) and "one of the all-time greats" (Karin Slaughter). Her acclaimed novels featuring detective V. I. Warshawski have become one of the most celebrated series in modern fiction. Now in this spellbinding collection, Paretsky showcases her extraordinary talents with fourteen short stories, including one new V. I. story and seven other classics featuring the indomitable detective. In "Miss Bianca," a young girl becomes involved in espionage when she befriends a mouse in a laboratory that is conducting dark experiments. Ten-year-old V. I. Warshawski appears in "Wildcat," embarking on her very first investigation to save her father. A hardboiled New York detective and elderly British aristocrat team up to reveal a murderer in Chicago during the World' s Fair in "Murder at the Century of Progress. " In the new title story, "Love & Other Crimes," V. I. treads the line between justice and vengeance when the wrongful firing of a family friend makes him a murder suspect. For longtime fans of V. I. Warshawski, new readers discovering her for the first time, or any lover of crime and bone-chilling suspense, Love & Other Crimes is a celebration of Paretsky' s exceptional storytelling skill and a searing exploration of the dark conspiracies and desperate human acts hiding in plain sight.
"The well-wrought plots and densely imagined worlds make this the most distinguished mystery collection so far this year. "--Kirkus (starred review) on Love & Other Crimes "As long as Paretsky' s hotheaded, quick-witted sleuth is on the job, imperiled young women. . . will always have a champion. "--New York TimesBook Review "I' m a fanboy. . . When I was teaching myself to write thrillers, I closely studied Sara Paretsky' s detective V. I. Warshawski. "--John Sandford "Legendary V. I. Warshawski is as dogged and ferocious as ever. So is Sara Paretsky, who is at the top of her crime novel game. "--C. J. Box "Sara Paretsky is a legend. . . If you haven' t read her yet, now is the time. "--Harlan Coben "Sara Paretsky reigns as one of the all-time greats. "--Karin Slaughter "The love that really comes through in each story is the love and empathy Paretsky has for her all-too-human characters. "--Publishers Weekly on Love & Other Crimes "Wonderful company and a rich discovery awaiting those who have yet to meet [Warshawski]. "--Los Angeles Times
