Body of Evidence / Postmortem | Michael Connelly CD Collection 2 | Alex Cross, Run
âThe thing about Sara Paretsky is, sheâs toughânot because she observes the bone-breaker conventions of the private-eye genre but because she doesnât flinch from examining old social injustices others might find too shameful (and too painful) to dig up.â âThe New York Times Book Review
âDoctors take days offâwhy not PIs?â V.I. Warshawski demands. But when Americaâs hardest-working private eye goes clubbing, a stranger is shot and dies in her arms.
V.I. has been visiting Club Gouge, Chicagoâs edgiest nightspot, where a woman known as the Body Artist turns her naked body into a canvas for the audience to paint on.
The show attracts all kinds of people, from a menacing off-duty cop to Ukrainian mobsters and Iraq war vetsâand V.I.âs impetuous cousin, Petra. A tormented young painter shows up, too, and the intricate designs she creates on the Body Artist drive one of the vets into a violent rage.
When the painter is shot, the cops figure itâs an easy collarâPTSD vet goes off the rails, stalks then kills young woman. But the vetâs family hires V.I. to clear his name, and the detective uncovers a chain of ugly truths that stretches all the way from Iraq to Chicagoâs South Side.
