Synopsis
Lotty Herschel, V. I. Warshawski's long-time friend and mentor, has turned her back on a painful past in which, as a child, she fled Vienna for London in the days before World War II. Now, in Chicago, a man named Paul Radbuka comes forward. Claiming to have recovered memories of his childhood in a deathcamp, Radbuka tries to insert himself into Lotty's life.
As a frightened V. I. watches her friend unravel, she tries to help in the only way she can: by investigating Radbuka's history. Struggling to decide whose memories of a terrible war she can trust, V. I. gets caught in a network of international crime that stretches from Switzerland and Germany to Chicago's South Side. With the atrocities of the past reaching out to engulf the living, V. I. moves closer to a chilling realization of the truth - a truth that almost destroys her oldest friend.

"Paretsky's latest, and probably best... she writes with the kind of dazzling diamond-hard clarity that can break your heart on every other page" - Chicago Tribune
