{"product_id":"books-killing-orders-by-paretsky-sara","title":"KILLING ORDERS","description":"Killing Orders, V.I. Warshawski s third adventure, starts when her great-aunt Rosa summons the detective to her cold suburban home. Rosa made V.I. s childhood miserable and the detective resents the command to help her aunt prove she didn't embezzle five million dollars from a local Dominican priory. All hell breaks loose when a mysterious opponent tries to take Vic off the case by throwing acid in her eyes and burning down her apartment. And when a friend who s involved in the case is brutally murdered, it begins to look as if Vic hasn t got a prayer. But Warshawski continues to follow every lead, even when they point to some pretty unorthodox conclusions: Perhaps the Dominicans are covering up a financial scandal. Maybe the whole conspiracy is under the patronage of an international conglomerate, or of Don Pasquale, king of the Chicago mob. Worst of all, someone who s close to Vic could be involved her darkly handsome English lover, Roger Ferrant, or even Aunt Rosa herself.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53507145138449,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781444763997.jpg?v=1778122138","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-killing-orders-by-paretsky-sara","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
