Description:

V.I. Warshawsky, a detective from the pen of Sara Paretsky, is
featured in nine novels and numerous short stories to date.  Of these
novels, three, "Deadlock", "Killing Orders" and "Bitter Medicine" have
been adapted for radio by the BBC.

V.I. Warshawski is a female detective in modern day Chicago, assisted
only by a part-time assistant Mary Louise Neely, a former Chicage cop.
Victoria, or Vic, is stubborn, loyal, and won't say no to a dare; the
kind of characterists that lead to trouble.  Not that Vic can't handle
trouble.

The novels were adapted for radio in the early 1990's and stared
Kathleen Turner as Warshawsky in "Killing Orders" and "Deadlock".

on the novel "Indemnity Only", the first V.I. Warsharsky novel.  In
