Blacklist

Called in to investigate reports of an intruder at derelict Larchmont Hall in wealthy New Solway, Vi Warshawski stumbles into a deeper mystery of murder and betrayal.

After turning up a dead journalist in an ornamental pond. V.I. begins to piece together a dark puzzle that stretches back to the McCarthy years and has links to the history and intrigues of two of Chicago’s most powerful families.

Slowly, Larchmont offers up its secrets – the political, financial and sexual.

Meanwhile, V.I. finds herself involved in the case of a young boy whose possible terrorist connections make him a target in the wake of 9/11 – and not just for the US government.
