Tracking down missing persons is part of V.I. Warshawski's job. But Lamont Gadsden has been missing for more than forty years--last seen heading out into the 1967 blizzard, in the midst of Chicago's racial unrest. V.I. figured the search would be futile. She didn't realize it would be lethal...or lead to troubling discoveries about her own family.
