Intrepid Chicago P.I., V.I. Warshawski, is drawn back to her old neighborhood on the South Side as a replacement high school girls' basketball coach. She's soon embroiled in South Side troubles: lack of funds for high school sports, a large corporation paying a pitance to hard-working folks, a small struggling business destroyed by fire and the murder of its owner, and the disappearances of a young idealistic heir to the large corporation and one of the girls on her basketball team. She frets over her lover Morrell as a beautiful journalist friend of his moves into his spare room, and she tangles with her old lover Conrad who has become police commander in the South Side's 4th precinct. This is an exciting fast-paced read!
