Deadlock - VI Warshawski by Sarah Paretsky
Deadlock - VI Warshawski
The crime investigations of Sara Paretsky's Chicago private eye VI Warshawski starring Kathleen Turner.
Sara Paretsky has created one of the most popular female sleuths in modern crime-fiction. VI Warshawski is a strong female character in a male-dominated world. She’s comfortable packing heat and trailing nasty suspects, but never loses touch with her basic femininity.
Paretsky says of her Warshawski: "I was troubled by the way women were portrayed in (detective fiction) they always seemed either evil or powerless. I thought it was time for a tough, smart, likeable female private investigator".
Kathleen Turner also starred in the same role in the 1991 film 'VI Warshawski'.
