Warshawski novels I, too, recommend Paretsky's books. The protagonist is a competent (but not a superwoman, by any means) private investigator. She's smart, sensible (never goes out "sleuthing" in high heels) and tough. PLUS, this year, the movie, "Warshawski" is being released, starring Kathleen Turner as the famous V. I. Warshawski (I saw it mentioned in a list of movies to-be-released that was in rec.arts.movies). Read the books, check out the movies (when it comes out)! audrey ishizaki
