About the Author: Sara Paretsky lives in Chicago with her husband and their golden retriever.
A magical, unforgettable story of myth and madness, hope and revelation, Ghost Country is Sara Paretsky\'s most eloquent and ambitious work yet.
In this extraordinary novel, Sara Paretsky gives voice to the dispossessed, to men and women struggling to bury the ghosts of the past, fighting for their lives in a world hungry for miracles, terrified of change.
And as she slowly transforms their lives, miracles begin to happen in a city completely unprepared for the outcome.
Erotic to some, repellent to others, she never speaks; the street people call her Starr.
Tensions in the city are escalating when a mysterious woman appears during a violent storm.
As the three women fight for their right to live and worship beneath the hotel, they find an ally in Hector Tammuz, an idealistic young psychiatrist risking his career to treat the homeless regardless of the cost.
Mara, a rebellious adolescent cast out by her wealthy grandfather, becomes the catalyst for a war between the haves and have-nots as she searches among society\'s castoffs for the mother she never knew.
Madeleine, a homeless woman, sees the Virgin Mary\'s blood seeping through a concrete wall beneath a luxury hotel.
Luisa, a drunken diva fallen on hard times, discovers on Chicago\'s streets a drama greater than any she has experienced onstage.
They come from different worlds and meet at a time of crisis for all of them.
In Ghost Country she has written a parable for the millennium, a powerful, haunting novel of magic and miracles, of four troubled people who meet beneath Chicago\'s shadowy streets--and of the woman whose mysterious appearance changes all of their lives forever.
Now the New York Times bestselling author explores an unseen corner of the city she loves.
Warshawski a household name.
