"A tormented, many-layered tale....Readers who persevere through...[the] first-half flashback will be rewarded with the tremendous momentum of the second half."
(08/01/2009)
"The thing about Sara Paretsky is, she's tough....Unlike many popular crime writers, Paretsky doesn't turn out books like com battery hen...so it's a distinct pleasure to hear her unapologetically strident voice once again."

"With its vivid setting, intelligent heroine and sharp, clear look at contemporary life, this is another winner." (Top Pick)

"This is an ambitious novel layered in the grit of recent American racial history....In HARDBALL -- a standout, nuanced mystery about civil rights struggles past and present -- V.I. demonstrates, once again, that when push comes to shove, the scrappiest street fighters are from Chicago."
