THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
โTakes off with a bangโliterally...V. I. remains a paragon among PIs, and Fire Sale is one of Paretskyโs best books yet.โโSt. Louis Post-Dispatchย
A conscience can weigh a PI down more than the heaviest firearmโand get her into more trouble too. Itโs that nagging conscience that makes V. I. Warshawski agree to fill in as coach for the girlsโ basketball team at her South Chicago alma materโwhich in turn leads her to the headquarters of By-Smart, the global retail empire where V. I. hopes to get some desperately needed funds for the struggling squad.
But conscience seems to be in short supply at By-Smart...with the exception of Billy Bysen, the earnest teenage grandson of the chainโs gruff, tightfisted founder. And when Billy disappearsโalong with a mysterious document much desired by By-Smartโs management teamโV. I. is hurled onto a twisted, body-strewn path that runs through Chicagoโs dirtiest places and reveals some of its dirtiest secrets...
