"Multimedia conglomerate Global Entertainment has purchased the Chicago Herald-Star, forcing the paper's staff to scramble to stay employed. Reporter Murray Ryerson, V.I.'s longtime friend and sometime rival, manages to reinvent himself as the host of a television show on Global's network. On her way home from a party celebrating Murray's debut, V.I. almost runs over a woman lying in the street. And for V.I., unraveling the mystery of a battered and discarded woman will plunge her into the darkest and most emotionally shattering case of her career, taking her into the troubled home of a wealthy Chicago family, into the pampered world of a Hollywood star, and behind the razor wire of a women's prison, where the more dangerous criminals may be on the wrong side of the bars."--BOOK JACKET.
