Killing Orders

Years ago V. I. Warshawski's Aunt Rosa treated the detective's beloved mother in an unforgiveable way.

Until suddenly no one else - the FBI, a threatening phone caller, and even Aunt Rosa herself - appears to want her on the case either. V. I. turns to an old friend for help. But the stakes are higher than she could have realised . . .
