Hard Time

Sara Paretsky: Hard Time (USA 2000)

From the Publisher:
Among the first, and perhaps the most compelling, female private investigators of contemporary fiction, Sara Paretsky's incomparable character V. I. Warshawski at last returns to the page in her first full-length appearance since 1994's Tunnel Vision. Hard Time is the work of a master--a riveting novel of suspense that is indisputably Paretsky's best V.I. Warshawski novel yet.

Multimedia conglomerate Global Entertainment has purchased the Chicago Herald-Star, forcing the paper's staff to scramble to stay employed. Reporter Murray Ryerson, V.I.'s longtime friend and sometime rival, manages to reinvent himself as the host of a television show on Global's network. On her way home from a party celebrating Murray's debut, V.I. almost runs over a woman lying in the street. Stopping to help, V.I. soon learns that her Good Samaritan act will drop her squarely in a boiling intrigue.

In a case that forces her to go head-to-head with one of the world's largest providers of private security and prison services, a case that exposes dark hidden truths behind the razzle-dazzle of the entertainment industry, V.I. will be ahead of the game if she gets out alive.

Sara Paretsky: Hard Time. Bantam Dell Publishing Group, ISBN: 0440224705 (September, 2000), 495 p., $6.99.

Sara Paretsky: Hard Time (UK 2000)

From the Publisher:
When private investigator V. I. Warshawski swerves to avoid hitting a dying woman on a dark street, it is the beginning of her toughest challenge yet.

The woman is Nicola Aguinaldo, a runaway from women's prison Coolis, and ex-nanny for BB Baladine, the head of a large and powerful private security firm. When V. I. starts asking awkward questions about Nicola's death, she becomes the victim of an aggressive cover-up which brings her head-on with the police, the prison and corrupt big business, leaving her isolated from her allies and in more danger than ever before - even old friend and one-time lover journalist Murray Ryerson has sold his soul to the showbiz sharks at media empire Global Entertainment. V. I. is used to taking a bruising, but when she is arrested on a trumped-up charge and thrown into the lion's den at Coolis she faces her hardest time yet.
