It's been three years since we last heard from VI Warshawski, and my goodness, have things changed for our friend! Gone are the bloodstained jeans, traded in for an apron and wedding ring: the former ball-breaker has turned domestic goddess ... Of course, she's done no such thing: as Paretsky fans well know, such a life would be Warshawski's idea of hell. The Chicago private eye must be in her mid- if not late 40s, but her prickly feminism, idealism and fury at social inustice are stronger than ever. Her abrupt way with words, too, has not deserted her: 5 arguing with a company mogul, who disputes her version of events with a weary "Be that as it may", she shoots back: "Be that as it is!"
Fire Sale finds Warshawski back on familiar turf: the poverty-stricken South Side of Chicago, where she grew up among the steel mills that left a thick deposit of soot on the windows of her shabby house - now derelict and surrounded by vacant lots, the legacy of the factories long since shut down, their workforces made redundant by even cheaper labour in China or Nicaragua. She has come back reluctantly, having been asked to coach the high school girls' basketball team. But when one of the girls' mothers asks her to investigate some suspicious goings-on at the flag factory where she works - superglue in the locks, that kind of thing - Warshawski finds herself up against an enemy even more frightening than teenaged Latino girl-gang members (if such a thing can be imagined): it's the powers behind By-Smart, a massive American cut-price retailer that has the financial muscle to make or break the entire neighbourhood.
Paretsky has been both criticised and praised for making her thrillers so overtly political, but she hasn't let either viewpoint influence her writing particularly. "Mysteries, like cops, are right up against the place where people's basest and basic needs intersect with law and justice," she wrote in the New York Times a few years ago. "They are by definition political." Her previous book, Blacklist, was a reaction against post-9/11 paranoia, and paralleled the US Patriot Act with the 1950s communist witch-hunt. Here she is taking on an equally huge target in the form of a corporation ruthlessly fixated on the bottom line.
By-Smart is run by a single well-upholstered family, the Bysens, who come complete with grunting patriarch, resentful son, gold-digging daughter-in-law and - to break the pattern - a bright-eyed grandson, Billy, who is keen to do right by the firm's underpaid, underinsured employees. The company is presumably modelled on a well- known US supermarket chain, and in taking on such a reviled target - the Dick Dastardly of our globalised age - Paretsky risks underwhelming her audience of jaded liberals, who, after years of Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock, may not find themselves roused to anger by such an obvious bunch of bad guys.
But Warshawski has plenty more to contend with than "Buffalo Bill" Bysen and his clan. She is twitching with jealousy over Marcena Love, a glamorous English journalist who is staying with Warshawski's partner while she works on a piece about "the unseen America" for the Guardian (if you find yourself blinking at the news that she comes with a Prada suit and bag, your surprise is nothing compared to mine as a Guardian employee). Then there's young Billy's disappearance - and the basketball team, who keep Warshawski busy with their illegitimate babies, feuds and ailments. When a girl collapses on the court, Warshawski is forced to confront her shrieking mother, who turns out to be a face from the past, though much hardened from years of struggle.
Caught between the desperate rage of the South-Siders and the steely threats of the By-Smart moguls, Warshawski can only think longingly of a hot shower, an early night and a plate of her beloved corned beef hash. As usual, what she gets instead is very different: a shoulder pierced by a shard of hot metal, severe dehydration and frostbitten fingers ("I studied them as I stumbled along. They were large purple sausages. It would be so nice to have a fried sausage right now ...").
As you might expect in such a bulky book, the story moves in fits and starts: there are long passages of discussion and even longer passages of action and peril, including one endless, dreamlike march that Paretsky skilfully keeps at boiling point for dozens of pages. But the details are so rich and the dialogue so snappy that the mystery whizzes by. Let's hope Warshawski keeps her head out of the Martha Stewart noose for a long time to come.
