  • "V.I. Warshawski is performing a favor when she drives her young friend Consuelo, 16 and pregnant, and her street-punk husband, Fabiano, to a job interview. When Consuelo's labor begins prematurely, Vic takes her to a private suburban hospital--whose staff, seeing "indigent" written all over a young Hispanic face, treats her only reluctantly. Consuelo and her baby don't live out the night. The next day the doctor who treated her is found brutally murdered, and V.I. Warshawski is hip-deep in a highly personal investigation. What she uncovers is an explosive nightmare of conspiracy and greed--where human life takes a back seat to the bottom line."@en
