About this title

About the Author:

Cara Black is the author of eleven books in the bestselling Aimée Leduc series, all of which are available from Soho Crime. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and son and visits Paris frequently.
 

From Booklist:

How many high heels has investigator Aimeé Leduc broken while crashing around the arrondisements of Paris, trying to solve murders she has no business investigating? Call it one heel per novel at least. In the opening scene of this tenth installment in the series, Aimeé’s business partner, René, is shot, and shortly thereafter, Aimeé discovers an unexplained deposit in their computer-security company’s bank account, which puts the government on her tail, suspecting tax fraud. The plot thickens quickly, as it always does in this frenetically paced series, when it becomes clear that Aimeé is being framed as René’s killer. Finally, one of Aimeé’s personally motivated criminal investigations doesn't conflict with her business—in fact, it's essential to saving the company. Keeping one step ahead of the police, Aimeé follows the trail to Paris’ glorious Palais Royal, where she breaks both the inevitable heel and, eventually, the case. Yes, this series is thoroughly formulaic, but who cares when the formula is such fun and when the heroine is, well, such a delightfully unbuttoned Audrey Hepburn for the twenty-first century? --Bill Ott
