From Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author, comes another V.I. Warshawski novel.

Armed with a bottle of Black Label and a Smith and Wesson, V.I. follows a trail of violence and corruption to the center of the Windy City's powerful shipping industry. Dodging attempts on her life with characteristic grit and humor, V.I. wends her way through a maze of grain elevators and thousand-ton freighters to ferret out Boom Boom's killer.
