Synopsis
The ninth book in Sara Paretsky's popular V.I. Warshawski series has the tough, street-savvy private investigator doing time in a women's maximum security prison for the alleged kidnapping of a security magnate's neglected son. She makes the most of her sentence, investigating the death of an ex-housekeeper-turned-convict, who, last seen in the prison's infirmary, was brutally beaten and mysteriously left to die on the streets of her old neighborhood.

Publisher's Note
V. I. Warshawski takes on the entertainment industry when a fateful Good Samaritan act on behalf of a woman lying injured in the street plunges the plucky PI into a case involving dastardly deeds committed by the world's largest provider of security and prison services. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"When it comes to creating character, evoking place, crackling writing and convincing dialogue, and dealing with issues of substance within the crime genre, Sara Paretsky has no peer--and HARD TIME proves it once again. Forget the convoluted plot, one wants to say; V.I. Warshawski would be fascinating to watch if she were simply tracking down parking-ticket scofflaws. Enough said."
Standiford 

"V.I. returns in great form to denounce the mistreatment of helpless immigrants, the rankness and degradation of women's prisons and the shady snares of media conglomerates. As usual, she talks too much, and as usual her mouthing off aggravates sticky situations. But that's what we expect of V.I. Defiant, sardonic, ostentatious, she stirs every hornet's nest and breasts the murkiest currents to emerge vindicated and triumphant in the end."
Weber 

"With HARD TIME, her first V.I. Warshawski novel in five years, Sara Paretsky lightens up on the political oratory and goes back to the basics that shot this terrific series to the top of its class."
Stasio 

"The plot of this ninth novel in the V.I. Warshawski series...may be thin, but Paretsky saves it with unruffled pacing and the gruffly compassionate voice of her lady P.I.....Let's hope it's not another five years before her next caper."
Winecoff 

"[Paretsky has] written a powerful whodunit, robustly characterised, with a moral dimension that gives a cutting edge to its excitement."
Oakes 

"HARD TIME is Paretsky at her best."
Mystery Review - Harold Hunt
