Hardcover Mysteries features some of America's most popular writers of thrillers and whodunits, exploring the crossover from fact to fiction. In this exciting new eight-part series, New York Times best-selling authors discuss the real-life cases that compelled their fascination and inspired their page-turners. Authors David Baldacci, Sandra Brown, Harlan Coben, Linda Fairstein, Sara Paretsky, Kathy Reichs, Lisa Scottoline and Joseph Wambaugh offer their unique perspectives on real-life mysteries, honed by their skills as master storytellers and keen observers of human nature.
Sara Paretsky, who pens the acclaimed V.I. Warshawski series about a tough female private detective in Chicago has transformed the role of women in crime novels. Paretsky looks at the homicide of a faculty wife that made headlines near her childhood hometown of Lawrence, Kansas.
In 1982, Sara Paretsky first introduced detective V.I. Warshawski in "Indemnity Only" and revolutionized the mystery genre by creating a female investigator who used her wits, as well as her fists, in Paretsky's hometown of Chicago. By challenging a genre in which women typically were either vamps or victims, Paretsky opened the door to a best-selling series of V.I. Warshawski novels including "Deadlock," "Killing Orders," "Bitter Medicine," "Blood Shot," "Burn Marks," "Guardian Angel," "Tunnel Vision," "Ghost Country," "Hard Time," "Black List," "Fire Sale," "Hardball," and "Body Work."
Hardcover Mysteries airs on Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET on Investigation Discovery. The eight part series also airs episodes on On Demand.
