by Sara Paretsky (Editor)
Sara Paretsky, creator of V.I. Warshawski, has brought together a brilliant and diverse collection of short stories which proves the old adage that a woman's work is never done. From private eye purgatory to tourist's paradise, from the mean streets of despair to gilded hell in consumer heaven, the cream of contemporary women crime writers presents stories of crime and punishment on a global scale.
