Chicago politics—past\, present and future—take center stage in New York Times best-selling author Sara Paretsky’s brilliant new V.I. Warshawski novel. Chicago’s unique brand of ball is sixteen-inch slowpitch\, played in leagues all over the city for more than a century. But in politics\, in business\, and in law enforcement\, the game is hardball. V.I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who’s been missing for four decades\, a search she figured would be futile becomes lethal in Hardball. PLUS! Join us for a lunchtime reading group event with Sara Paretsky at our Downtown store! RSVP to danielle@left-bank.com or call 314.367.6731\; tickets include the new book (which Paretsky will sign) and a box lunch from City Grocer.
