Book Summary
V.I. Warshawski, the feminist sleuth who specializes in
corporate crime, returns in "Deadlock," a topnotch mystery
that critics say ever surpasses Sara Paretsky's first novel,
"Indemnity Only."
The smart young detective becomes
suspicious when her cousin Boom Boom, a former ice hockey
star, drowns in a questionable dock accident. As she
explores the cargo shipping world, Vic uncovers a murderous
rivalry between shipping magnates.
Paretsky, who
holds an M.B.A. and works for CNA Financial Corporation in
Chicago, brings eyewitness authenticity to this thriller -
she spent several days on a freighter to get the feel of
life on deck.
