More action with V.I. Warshawski right in the middle of it! In this instalment, she's on her way home (with her office woman in the car) and barely stops in time to avoid hitting a woman lying in the middle of the road. She calls for assistance, a couple of police arrive and the ambulance, and the woman is taken off to hospital. Next thing, the woman dies in hospital, her body disappears, and V.I. is being accused of having hit her with the car. On top of that, her journalist friend is acting strange, a TV star is acting out of character (having an old friend evicted from her party), and the boss of a large security firm is being unpleasant.

Always a good read - I'm totally enjoying this series.
