Sara Paretsky is an American author renowned for her detective fiction featuring the groundbreaking female private investigator V.I. Warshawski. Her work has significantly influenced the genre by challenging traditional stereotypes of female detectives.

In "Blood Shot," also known as "Toxic Shock" in the UK, V.I. Warshawski investigates the mysterious death of her cousin, leading her to uncover corporate corruption at a Chicago chemical company. As she delves deeper, Warshawski faces dangerous opposition from those determined to keep their secrets hidden. "Windy City Blues," alternatively titled "V.I. for Short," follows Warshawski as she navigates a series of seemingly unrelated cases that intertwine, revealing a complex web of deceit and danger in Chicago's blues scene. Both novels showcase Warshawski's tenacity and resourcefulness in confronting powerful adversaries while seeking justice.
