Warshawski novels have dazzled readers and earned the acclaim of critics everywhere. V.I. Warshawski rules, writes \u003ci\u003eNewsweek, \u003c\/i\u003e crowning her the most engaging woman in detective fiction. Of V.I.'s creator, the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e says Sara Paretsky has no peer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Paretsky brings her incomparable storytelling brilliance to her most powerful Warshawski novel yet. \u003cb\u003eTotal Recall\u003c\/b\u003e follows the Chicago P.I. on a road that winds back more than fifty years -- and into an intricate maze of wartime lies, heartbreaking secrets, and harrowing retribution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor V.I., the journey begins with a national conference in downtown Chicago, where angry protesters are calling for the recovery of Holocaust assets. Replayed on the evening news is the scene of a slight man who has stood up at the conference to tell an astonishing story of a childhood shattered by the Holocaust -- a story that has devastating consequences for V.I.'s cherished friend and mentor, Lotty Herschel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLotty was a girl of nine when she emigrated from Austria to England, one of a group of children wrenched from their parents and saved from the Nazi terror just before the war broke out. Now stunningly -- impossibly -- it appears that someone from that long-lost past may have returned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the help of a recovered-memory therapist, Paul Radbuka has recently learned his true identity. But is he who he claims to be? Or is he a cunning impostor who has usurped someone else's history ... a history Lotty has tried to forget for over fifty years? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a frightened V.I. watches her friend unravel, she sets out to help in the only way she can: by investigating Radbuka's past. Already working on a difficult case for a poor family cheated of their life insurance, she tries to balance Lotty's needs with her client's, only to find that both are spiraling into a whirlpool of international crime that stretches from Switzerland and Germany to Chicago's South Side. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the atrocities of the past reach out to engulf the living, V.I. struggles to decide whose memories of a terrible war she can trust, and moves closer to a chilling realization of the truth -- a truth that almost destroys her oldest friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith fierce emotional power, Sara Paretsky has woven a gripping and morally complex novel of crime and punishment, memory and illusion. Destined to become a suspense classic, \u003cb\u003eTotal Recall\u003c\/b\u003e proves once again the daring and compelling genius of Sara Paretsky.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584068788497,"sku":"GOR005739477","price":50.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49932243108113,"sku":"CIN0385313667VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145812644113,"sku":"CIN0385313667A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52103484408081,"sku":"CIN0385313667G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53270447587601,"sku":"GOR005716649","price":29.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385313667.jpg?v=1750878283","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/total-recall-book-sara-paretsky-9780385313667","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
