Every town needs a hero, and Detective Cal Farrell fits the bill. He stopped an active shooter six months earlier, and now he’s become the darling of the Alexandria press. The problem is that Cal remembers nothing from that day. He’s working with a psychiatrist to recover his memories, but hasn’t had much luck. Then, on one of his morning runs, he is once again the first on scene for a grisly discovery—a body hanging impossibly high on a tree. Soon there’s another victim, killed by a blade and dumped in a ravine.

She’s no longer the terrified teenager a rapt audience saw on television, emerging in handcuffs from the quiet suburban home the night her family was massacred. That girl, Alexandra Quinlan, nicknamed Empty Eyes, was accused of the killings, fought to clear her name, and later took the stand during her highly publicized defamation lawsuit that captured the attention of the nation. It’s been ten years since, and Alex hasn’t stopped searching for answers about the night her family was killed.

Publisher's summary
Sara Paretsky follows her instant New York Times best seller 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.

In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Maggie's latest case is an unidentified female in her early teens, discovered in a local cemetery. More shocking than the girl's injuries - for Maggie at least - is the fact that no one has reported her missing. She and the detectives assigned to the case (including her cop ex-husband) are determined to follow every lead, run down every scrap of evidence. But the monster they seek is watching every move, closer to them than they could possibly imagine.

At last, the enigmatic partner of Elvis Cole (The Two Minute Rule) takes center stage in this pulse-racing thriller. When Joe Pike is charged with safeguarding a wealthy heiress, he discovers protecting the sole witness to a crime is nothing compared to protecting an LA party girl from her own self-destruction....

My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

So Improbable, It Was Fun To Read
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.

Disappointing
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.

V.I. Officially jumps the shark
It seems to me that Sara Paretsky is beginning to rewrite the same plot line over and over.
Stop me if you’ve heard this ... V.I. gets some case via an unknown family member, she gets in over her head, gets shot at, or gets the crap beaten out of her, spends time in the hospital, makes a miraculous recovery, and solves the case.
Memo to Sara Paretsky ... enough of the psycho, dog-hating woman in 2B. Her character is annoying, and adds nothing to the storyline.
Also, it’s time to write-out Jake.

I was on the edge of my seat!
I can never wait for VI books to release. Words cannot say how much I liked this book. There was action, stupid ex- husband, and issues straight from the headlines. V.I. is a bad mamma jamma. I'm so glad she finally took Dick down a bit and has another love interest.

Disappointing to Chicagoans
The story was good enough but the reader clearly knows nothing of Chicago. So many mispronounced places, street names etc. like nails on a blackboard to a Chicagoan. Surprising the author didn’t know or listen and edit the audio version.

Great book. Love the narrator Susan as compared to Jean Smart who did at least one of the books in this series. I do like Jean as an actress though but I love the voice Susan does for Mr Contreras the most.
