Cara Black lives in San Francisco with her husband, a bookseller, and her son. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling Aimee Leduc series, published by Soho Press. Murder in the Sentier was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and has been nominated for an Anthony Award for Best Novel. From the Hardcover edition.
Cara Black books are good companions, and Murder in the Bastille especially so. 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, 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. --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review Paris is one of my favorite cities in all the world; Black's books are a fine way to revisit it. -- New Orleans Times-Picayune Black's fourth is her best yet, with complex, appealing characters, a crisp, well-paced mystery, and a setting like no other. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
