Hard Time
Sara Paretsky
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 into a boiling
intrigue.
