V. I. Warshawski series, 13

When V. I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who's been missing for four decades, a search that she figured would be futile becomes lethal. Old skeletons from the Chicago's racially charged history, as well as haunting family secrets, rise up with a vengeance. To complicate matters, Petra, a young cousin whom V. I. has never met, arrives to work on a political campaign. When Petra goes missing after a break-in at the office, V.I. is determined to find her. As the search grows more desperate, V. I. learns that a nun with crucial evidence for the Gadsden case has died before she can reveal it. Meanwhile, new information has emerged about her father's role in a politically and racially charged trial almost forty years ago. Afraid to learn that her adored father might have been a bent cop, V. I. takes the investigation all the way to its frightening end
