Brush Back

V.I. Warshawski, the sharp-witted private investigator, finds herself pulled back into the shadows of her past when an old flame reaches out for help. He needs her to uncover the truth behind a murder charge that has long haunted his family—his mother’s conviction for a crime she insists she didn’t commit. Despite her initial reluctance, Warshawski can't turn her back on the opportunity to right a wrongful conviction, especially when it ties into her own Chicago roots.

As she delves deeper into the case, she navigates a web of secrets that reveal the complexities of loyalty and family ties. The investigation leads her through the turbulent landscape of Chicago's criminal underbelly, where buried truths threaten not only her safety but also the lives of those she cares about. With her trademark tenacity, Warshawski races against time to uncover the real story behind the decades-old crime and find the justice that has eluded so many.
