Synopsis "Jugar a Ganar (in Spanish)"

Cuando la investigadora privada Vic Warshawski emprende la busqueda de un hombre negro desaparecido cuatro decadas atras, lo que ella consideraba un caso cerrado e imposible se convierte en algo mortalmente peligroso. Viejas cuestiones de la historia racial de Chicago y secretos familiares -suyos propios y del desaparecido- saldran a la luz de manera sorprendente. Durante los disturbios raciales de 1967, cuando los blancos reaccionaron con dureza a los planes de integracion en los barrios, Lamont Gadsden desaparecio sin dejar rastro. Anos despues, su anciana madre le encomienda el caso a Vic Warshawski. La detective se enfrentara a un periodo desagradable de la historia de su ciudad, en el que una marcha pacifica de Martin Luther King se saldo con la muerte de una joven negra. Para complicarlo todo, una prima lejana de Vic que ha llegado a la ciudad para trabajar en una campana politica, desaparece, y el nombre del padre de la investigadora, que fue agente de policia, sale a relucir en el caso de manera un tanto turbia. La investigacion se enreda cada vez mas, y es que escarbar en esos sucesos del pasado esta despertando recelos, temores y pasiones / When V. I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who's been missing for four decades, a search that she figured would be futile becomes lethal. Old skeletons from the city's racially charged history, as well as haunting family secrets-her own and those of the elderly sisters who hired her-rise up to brush her back from the plate with a vengeance. A young cousin whom she's never met arrives from Kansas City to work on a political campaign; a nun who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. dies without revealing crucial evidence; and on the city's South Side, people spit when she shows up. Afraid to learn that her adored father might have been a bent cop, V. I. still takes the investigation all the way to its frightening end.
