Killing Orders (MP3 format, CD, Unabridged)

Killing Orders, V.I. Warshawskia (TM)s third adventure, starts when her great-aunt Rosa summons the detective to her cold suburban home. Rosa made V.I.a (TM)s childhood miserable and the detective resents the command to help her aunt prove she didn't embezzle five million dollars from a local Dominican priory.
All hell breaks loose when a mysterious opponent tries to take Vic off the case by throwing acid in her eyes and burning down her apartment. And when a friend whoa (TM)s involved in the case is brutally murdered, it begins to look as if Vic hasna (TM)t got a prayer.
But Warshawski continues to follow every lead, even when they point to some pretty unorthodox conclusions: Perhaps the Dominicans are covering up a financial scandal. Maybe the whole conspiracy is under the patronage of an international conglomerate, or of Don Pasquale, king of the Chicago mob. Worst of all, someone whoa (TM)s close to Vic could be involved a " her darkly handsome English lover, Roger Ferrant, or even Aunt Rosa herself.
