"Undoubtedly one of the best-written characters in mystery fiction."

Hailed by P.D. James as "the most remarkable" of modern crime writers, Sara Paretsky is the New York Times-bestselling author of twenty novels, including the renowned V.I. Warshawski series. She is one of only four living writers—alongside John Le Carré, Sue Grafton, and Lawrence Block—to have received both the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the Crime Writers' Association of Great Britain. She lives in Chicago with her husband.

Before there was Lisbeth Salander, before there was Stephanie Plum, there was V.I. Warshawski. She took the mystery world by storm in 1982 with her first appearance.
