BITTER MEDICINE
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

When V.I. "Vic" Warshawski's young friend Consuelo goes into premature labor, the women are far from home, in this fourth book in the series, from 1987 (following Killing Orders). By the time Consuelo's doctor Malcolm Tregiere arrives, both she and her baby are dead at the local for-profit hospital. Vic assumes this was a tragic but unavoidable outcome, but after Dr. Tregiere is brutally murdered and Vic begins to investigate, her work uncovers a trail of greed and violence that leads her back to the hospital where Consuelo died. Since 1982, when private investigator V.I. Warshawski first appeared in Indemnity Only, Chicago author Sara Paretsky has been helping transform the image of women in crime fiction, and in the process has been named an MWA Grand Master and earned the CWA's Diamond Dagger. Hot-tempered and fiercely independent, Vic is unafraid of physical confrontations, relying on her karate skills and her Smith & Wesson.
