It's July in Chicago and all V.I. Warshawski wants is to go home and beat the heat. But she can't. She's got a late night meeting with a potential client, the head of Chicago's biggest bank. The job seems simple enough: find his son's missing girlfriend. Unfortunately, the first thing V.I. finds is the son, and he's dead. The family identifies him, but the father isn't the man who hired her! Just who is V.I.'s client and what kind of game is he playing? She scrambles to solve the mystery, and learns there are hotter things in Chicago than July!

Work Description
Meeting an anonymous client late on a sizzling summer night is asking for trouble. But trouble is Chicago private eye V.I. Warshwski's specialty. Her client says he's the prominent banker, John Thayer. Turns out he's not. He says his son's girlfriend, Anita Hill, is missing. Turns out that's not her real name. V.I.'s search turns up someone soon enough -- the real John Thayer's son, and he's dead. Who's V.I.'s client? Why has she been set up and sent out on a wild-goose chase? 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.From the Paperback edition.
