The protagonist of all but two of Paretsky's novels is V.I. Warshawski, a female private investigator. Victoria Iphigenia “Vic” Warshawski is a Fictional character in a series of detective novels and short stories by Sara Paretsky. Warshawski's eclectic personality defies easy categorization. She drinks Black Label, breaks into houses looking for clues, and can hold her own in a street fight, but also she pays attention to her clothes, sings opera along with the radio, and enjoys her sex life. Although Warshawski's temper, impulsiveness, and independence land her in most of the danger she faces, the reader still roots for her to win out against the thugs, swindlers, and male chauvinists.

More than any other contemporary writer, Paretsky is credited with transforming the role and image of women in the crime novel. The Winter 2007 issue of Clues: A Journal of Detection^[1] is devoted to her work.

Like those of other mystery writers including Dick Francis and Robert B. Parker, Paretsky's plots are based on the traditional formula: someone is murdered in the early pages to conceal a crime (which often involve important corporations and their business in Paretsky's novels), and more killings follow, culminating with Warshawski herself narrowly escaping being killed in a climactic confrontation with the murderer. Dick Francis CBE (born Richard Stanley Francis on October 31, 1920) is a British Author and retired Jockey. Robert B Parker (born September 17 1932 Biography Parker was born in Springfield Massachusetts. As with Francis, the lack of variety in Paretsky's storylines is compensated for by rich details about the lives and businesses of Paretsky's characters. And, as in Parker's novels, local color abounds, in Paretsky's case including traffic on the Stevenson Expressway and the perennial travails of the Chicago Cubs. The Chicago Cubs are a Professional Baseball franchise based in Chicago, Illinois.
