Sometimes time doesn't heal all wounds... When a young woman named Sabrina disappears without
a trace in Kansas private investigator V.I. Warshawski knows she must act fast. But when she
discovers Sabrina close to death in a drug house the locals don't take kindly to her - and
Sabrina's mother becomes suspicious. V.I. finds herself under the sharp gaze of the FBI - and
the men running the county's opioid distribution. And when a dead body surfaces a few days
later V.I. is pitched headlong into a battle between the locals - with roots that date all the
way back to the American Civil War. The war might be over but its legacy remains - and V.I.'s
survival depends on keeping one step ahead in a game she doesn't even know she's playing...
