Parisian P.I. Aimee Leduc is head-over-heels when a former boyfriend, an investigative journalist, reappears and proposes-but his professional past has caught up with him, and now Aimee must figure out who would want him dead

Aimee Leduc seems to be having a streak of good luck. First, she secures a lucrative computer security contract for her Paris detective agency. Then her ex-boyfriend Yves, the gorgeous bad-boy investigative journalist, reappears in her life. He insists he's back in Paris indefinitely-and wants to make the ultimate commitment. He proposes to her that very night, and Aimee can't help but say yes.

When she wakes up in the morning, though, Yves is gone without even leaving a note. Aimee is irate until she learns the awful truth- Yves was murdered early that morning. Heartbroken and convinced the Brigade Criminelle are not following the right leads, Aimee pursues the mystery behind her fiance's murder. Yves was killed trying to further a cause he believed in. Even if it means putting her own life on the line, Aimee won't let him die in vain.

Reviews for Murder in the Rue de Paradis

Praise for Murder in the Rue de Paradis A tightly spun web worthy of a classic spy thriller . . . Leduc's City of Light is a stylish, dangerous place throbbing by night to an ominous techno world beat, and Aimee Leduc is a marvelous invention, a thirdgeneration Sam Spade in couture. --Washington Post Book World Brimming with Middle Eastern intrigue that reflects the modern era. --The Christian Science Monitor Black deftly makes the history of the city resonate . . . Murder in the Rue de Paradis is a page-turner, but some of its pages invite you to linger and reflect. --San Francisco Gate Riveting . . . Aimee Leduc, smart, spirited and sassy, takes the reader on an action-packed ride fueled by the hidden secrets of her beloved Paris. --Publishers Weekly Praise for the New York Times bestselling Aimee Leduc series 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 Cara Black books are good companions. . . . Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better yet, go and bring them with you. --Alan Furst Conveys vividly those layers of history that make the stones of Paris sing for so many of us. --Chicago Tribune If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead. --Val McDermid The buzz is partly about her heroine's hip, next-generation, cutting-edge investigations and partly about Paris, a setting of unrivaled charm. --Houston Chronicle Compelling . . . Aimee makes an engaging protagonist, vulnerable beneath her vintage chic clothing and sharp-witted exterior. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
