    Fallout: A V.I. Warshawski Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 988min
    Lee Child says she's "a genius". P. D. James called her "the most remarkable" of today's suspense writers. Stieg Larsson loved her work so much, he named her in his novels. And now Sara Paretsky returns with the most extraordinary novel of her legendary career: Fallout. Before there was Lisbeth Salander, before there was Stephanie Plum, there was V. I. Warshawski. To her parents she's Victoria Iphigenia. To her friends she's Vic. But to clients seeking her talents as a detective, she's V. I. And her new case will lead her from her native Chicago...and into Kansas, on the trail of a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star. Accompanied by her dog, V. I. tracks her quarry through a university town, across fields where missile silos once flourished - and into a past riven by long-simmering racial tensions, a past that holds the key to the crimes of the present. But as the mysteries stack up, so does the body count. And in this, her toughest case, not even V. I. is safe. Exciting and provocative, fiercely intelligent and witty, Fallout is listening at its most enjoyable and powerful. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Ericksen.
