Shell game

Legendary sleuth V.I. Warshawski returns to the Windy City to save an old friend's nephew from a murder arrest. The case involves a stolen artifact that could implicate a shadowy network of international criminals. As V.I. investigates the detective soon finds herself tangling with the Russian mob ISIS backers and a shady network of stock scams and stolen art that stretches from Chicago to the East Indies and the Middle East. In Shell Game nothing and no one are what they seem except for the detective herself who loses sleep money and blood but remains indomitable in her quest for justice.
