About this listen

Sometimes, time doesn't heal all wounds...

When a young woman named Sabrina disappears without a trace in Kansas, private investigator V.I. Warshawski knows she must act fast. But when she discovers Sabrina close to death in a drug house, the locals don't take kindly to her - and Sabrina's mother becomes suspicious. V.I. finds herself under the sharp gaze of the FBI - and the men running the county's opioid distribution. And when a dead body surfaces a few days later, V.I. is pitched headlong into a battle between the locals - with roots that date all the way back to the American Civil War.

The war might be over, but its legacy remains - and V.I.'s survival depends on keeping one step ahead in a game she doesn't even know she's playing...

I love the VI books and the grit that the character has…this book is a good addition to the excellent series. VI’s Jewish background and the stories of the antisemitism she and her family and friends have faced is a stark reality when seen against the rise of antisemitism today. The book is of course is a good mystery and is exciting. Good folks need to stand up against evil and VI exemplifies this in a character that fights for justice and truth throughout the series.

Enjoyed the book, good story, well written and good narration
