Search - Indemnity Only (V.I. Warshawski, Bk 1)

very good

early warshawski, with the fun that entails.

Meeting an anonymous client late on a sizzling summer night is asking for trouble. ut trouble is Chicago private eye V.I. Warshawski's specialty. Her client says he's the prominent banker, John Thayer. Turns out he's not. He says his son's girlfriend is missing. But he gave her the wrong name for the girlfriend. V.I.'s search turns up someone soon enough--the real John Thayer's son, and he's dead. Who is her client? Why has she been set up and sent out on a wild goose chance? By the time she's got it figured things are hotter--and deadlier--than Chicago in July. V.I.'s in a desperate race against time. At stake: a young woman's life.
