Hardball by Sara Paretsky


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Good story, perfect in fact for a cozy Sunday afternoon of reading. The book takes us to the race riots and civil rights marches of Chicago in the 1960s. At that time a young black man disappeared when a black woman was murdered. With a clear writing style and sympathetic characters, Paretsky weaves the story in and out and around till everything is connected in the end.

Passions and fears of the young men in the 60s are still with them as they wield power in the political world of 2010. Intesting and well written.
