Pay Dirt

Sometimes, time doesn''t heal all wounds...

When a young woman named Sabrina disappears without a trace in Kansas, private investigator V.I. Warshawski knows she must act fast. But when she discovers Sabrina close to death in a drug house, the locals don''t take kindly to her - and Sabrina''s mother becomes suspicious. V.I. finds herself under the sharp gaze of the FBI - and the men running the county''s opioid distribution. And when a dead body surfaces a few days later, V.I. is pitched headlong into a battle between the locals - with roots that date all the way back to the American Civil War.

The war might be over, but its legacy remains - and V.I.''s survival depends on keeping one step ahead in a game she doesn''t even know she''s playing...
