Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condizione: Gut. 3. Auflage. 444 Seiten. 19 cm Guter Zustand. Buchblock etwas verzogen. Warum mußte die Einwanderin Nicola Aguinaldo auf so gewaltsame Weise sterben? Weshalb verschwindet ihre Leiche, bevor ein ausführlicher Obduktionsbericht erstellt werden konnte? Und aus welchen Gründen will die Chicagoer Polizei ausgerechnet Vic Warshawski die Schuld an dem Tod der jungen Frau in die Schuhe schieben? Beim Lösen ihres neuen Falls ist die charmante und scharfsinnige Privatdetektivin vor besondere Schwierigkeiten gestellt, denn ganz offensichtlich wollen einflußreiche Kreise ihre Nachforschungen unterbinden. »Paretsky ist eine Ausnahme unter den amerikanischen Kriminalschriftstellern, weil sie gesellschaftliche Ungerechtigkeit leidenschaftlich verurteilt.« (Donna Leon, Welt am Sonntag). - V.I. Warshawski, Sara Paretskys burschikose, hundeliebende, nach Gerechtigkeit strebende Privatdetektivin, wurde von ihren Fans bereits vermisst. Nun ist unsere Vic wieder da für ihr neuntes Abenteuer -- ein wenig älter, eine Spur verbrauchter und so pleite wie eh und je. Das Ganze beginnt, als Warshawski sich eine Einladung zur heißesten Veranstaltung der Stadt erschleicht, einer schillernden Party zu Ehren des strahlendsten neuen TV-Stars Lacey Dowell, besser bekannt als "Mad Virgin". Vics alter Kumpel (und einstige Affäre) Murray Ryerson arbeitet inzwischen für Global Enterprises, den Riesenkonzern, der hinter der Lacey-Sensation steckt. Auf dem Heimweg nach der Party überfährt Vic fast eine Frau, die mitten auf der Fahrbahn liegt und deren Mad-Virgin-T-Shirt mit dem Blut einer früheren Verprügelung getränkt ist. Das Opfer, Nicola Aguinaldo, stirbt im Krankenhaus, und Vic stellt rasch fest, dass ein besonders widerlicher Polizist, Detective Lemour, sie wegen Totschlags im Straßenverkehr festnageln will. Ihr Ärger über diese absurden Anschuldigungen kocht über, als Nicolas Leiche aus dem Leichenschauhaus verschwindet, bevor eine Autopsie durchgeführt werden kann. Warum war diese Frau, die aus dem örtlichen Coolis-Gefängnis ausgebrochen war, für Lemour so wichtig? Und warum scheint am ganzen Mad-Virgin-Phänomen etwas faul zu sein? "Ich hatte nicht die Absicht, in Nicola Aguinaldos kaputtes Leben einzutauchen", klagt sie, "aber es schien, als kletterte jemand hinter mir auf das Zwölfmeterbrett, um mir einen Stoß zu geben." Auf ihrer Suche nach Antworten gerät sie in Konflikt mit dem Magnaten von Global Enterprises, Edmund Trant, und dem Oberboss des größten Wach- und Sicherheitsdienstes des Landes, Robert Baladine. Sie haben genug Schlagkraft, um V.I. wegen einer anderen Straftat, die sie nicht begangen hat, ins Coolis-Gefängnis werfen zu lassen. Der Gefängnisaufenthalt gibt Vic allerdings die perfekte Gelegenheit, ein wenig in Nicolas letzten Tagen dort herumzuschnüffeln -- und einen sensationellen Skandal aufzudecken. Wie bereits in den anderen Folgen dieser Reihe, setzt Paretsky auf brillante Weise erstaunlich unterschiedliche Schauplätze nebeneinander. Hier kontrastieren das heruntergekommene Milieu des Gefängnisses mit den exorbitanten Wohnungen der Stinkreichen Chicagos. In der Tat, die Leser, die gespannt auf die Rückkehr von V.I. Warshawski gewartet haben, werden darüber erfreut sein, dass sich in ihrer Welt wenig geändert hat. Mitch und Peppy, die Wunderhunde, sind so liebenswert, Mr. Contreras, ihr Hauswirt, so furchtlos und V.I. so siegreich wie eh und je. Es ist wie nach Hause kommen. --Naomi Gesinger Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Warshawski at last returns to the page in her first full-length appearance since 1994's Tunnel Vision. Hard Time is the work of a master--a riveting novel of suspense that is indisputably Paretsky's best V.I. Warshawski novel yet. Multimedia conglomerate Global Entertainment has purchased the Chicago Herald-Star, forcing the paper's staff to scramble to stay employed. Reporter Murray Ryerson, V.I.'s longtime friend and sometime rival, manages to reinvent himself as the host of a television show on Global's network. On her way home from a party celebrating Murray's debut, V.I. almost runs over a woman lying in the street. Stopping to help, V.I. soon learns that her Good Samaritan act will drop her squarely in a boiling intrigue. In a case that forces her to go head-to-head with one of the world's largest providers of private security and prison services, a case that exposes dark hidden truths behind the razzle-dazzle of the entertainment industry, V.I. will be ahead of the game if she gets out alive. *** Quantity Available: 1.
