Blacklist by Sara Paretsky
A V.I. Warshawski Novel
In this gripping mystery, a private detective is hired to investigate seemingly unrelated cases: a clandestine love affair from the 1950s and a modern-day murder. The investigation leads her into the heart of Chicago's exclusive society, where she uncovers a complex web of deceit involving blacklisted writers and McCarthy-era political persecution. As she delves deeper, the detective finds disturbing connections between the past and present, revealing how the shadows of history continue to shape the lives and actions of those involved. The novel masterfully blends suspense, historical intrigue, and social commentary, making it a compelling read.
