Warshawski appears in ‘Wildcat,’ embarking on her very first investigation to save her father. A hardboiled New York detective and elderly British aristocrat team up to reveal a murderer in Chicago during the World’s Fair in ‘Murder at the Century of Progress’.

In the new title story, ‘Love & Other Crimes’ V.I. treads the line between justice and vengeance when the wrongful firing of a family friend makes him a murder suspect.

Reviews

Sara Paretsky's command of the longform private eye novel is second to none, but is she equally adept at the short story? Love & Other Crimes is a new collection, and admirers will be pleased to glimpse into the South Chicago history of her steadfast female detective VI Warshawski. Other pleasures include pieces that function as introductions to her novels and a delicious Sherlock Holmes pastiche . . . A pleasing collection of amuse-bouches
