The ninth Aimee Leduc investigation set in Paris

A Haitian woman arrives at the office of Leduc Detective proclaiming that she is Aimee Leduc's sister, her father's illegitimate daughter. Though her partner, Rene, is wary of this stranger, Aimee is thrilled; she has always wanted a sister. But before Aimee can get to know her, Mireille disappears. Worried about her sister and eager to learn if what she says is true, Aimee follows the only clue she has- a note Mireille left behind. On the note is the address to a university research center in the Latin Quarter; in the building, Aimee finds a corpse without an ear. This compelling mystery weaves together Haitian politics, history, and culture as Aimee tries to piece together what happened and searches for the sister she never knew she had.

Reviews for Murder in the Latin Quarter

Praise for Murder in the Latin Quarter The ninth mystery in Cara Black's irresistible series set in Paris . . . might well be the book we've been waiting for. Aim�e Leduc, Black's adorably punkish sleuth, is in her element. --The New York Times Book Review Kinsey Millhone turned loose in Before Sunset . . . In Leduc's ninth outing, Paris, as always, sparkles in all its gargoyled, dusty, cobblestoned glory. --Entertainment Weekly No contemporary writer of noir mysteries evokes the spirit of Paris more than Cara Black in her atmospheric series starring P.I. Aim�e Leduc . . . The fearless, risk-taking Aim�e is constantly running, hiding, fighting and risking her life-all while dressed in vintage Chanel and Dior and Louboutin heels. --USA Today Yes, Cara Black fans, Aim�e Leduc is back. This is the ninth of Black's novels about the chic, indomitable Parisian detective, and it has all the elements Black's readers have come to cherish: an engaging protagonist with a likable sidekick (her diminutive partner, Ren� Friant), cops who hinder more than they help, villains with murky motives, grisly crimes and, above all, the unique Parisian atmosphere. --San Francisco Chronicle If you were weaned on the feminist PIs of the '70s and '80s like Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski and Marcia Muller's Sharon McCone, you may be looking for successors. Cara Black's series set in Paris is worthy. --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Black at her peak, with rich historical background and a vivid sense of place supporting her compelling narrative. --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
