V.I. Warshawski, the feminist sleuth who specializes in corporate crime, returns in "Deadlock," a topnotch mystery that critics say ever surpasses Sara Paretsky's first novel, "Indemnity Only."

The smart young detective becomes suspicious when her cousin Boom Boom, a former ice hockey star, drowns in a questionable dock accident. As she explores the cargo shipping world, Vic uncovers a murderous rivalry between shipping magnates.

Paretsky, who holds an M.B.A. and works for CNA Financial Corporation in Chicago, brings eyewitness authenticity to this thriller - she spent several days on a freighter to get the feel of life on deck.

From the Inside Flap

The Bookcassette� format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.
