Praise for the Aimee Leduc series: 'If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black...It's so authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee.' Val McDermid "Cara Black books are good companions...Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendentally, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better yet, go and bring them with you."-Alan Furst "Charming...Aimee is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the city's historical streets and byways with their eyes closed."-The New York Times Book Review "One of the best heroines in crime fiction." -Lee Child Zusammenfassung The ninth and latest in Cara Black's highly regarded Aimee Leduc Parisian crime series.
