Sara Paretsky follows her instant New York Times bestseller Fallout—her most widely read novel in years—with an extraordinary adventure that pits her acclaimed detective, V.I. Warshawski, against some of today’s most powerful figures.

Legendary sleuth V.I. Warshawski returns to the Windy City to save an old friend’s nephew from a murder arrest. The case involves a stolen artifact that could implicate a shadowy network of international criminals. As V.I. investigates, the detective soon finds herself tangling with the Russian mob, ISIS backers, and a shady network of stock scams and stolen art that stretches from Chicago to the East Indies and the Middle East. In Shell Game, nothing and no one are what they seem, except for the detective herself, who loses sleep, money, and blood, but remains indomitable in her quest for justice.

While the story line is not likely, Paretsky makes one believe...and care...and keep reading. V I Warshawski is a heroine for the common woman. Another hit for her and the author.

So Improbable, It Was Fun To Read

I have liked the Warshawski novels in the past, but was really disappointed she had to inject her personal political slant to her writing in this one. If I wanted political commentary I would not have picked a fiction book. I did decide to finish the book, and was not impressed with the story and the convoluted plot either. Ms. Paretsky has lost the humor and V. I. is not a pleasant person in her last few books. I'm done with her.

Disappointing
