When Aimée Leduc is contacted by a mysterious woman claiming to know her mother, her curiosity is mixed with fear, for the unknown woman claims to have been her mother’s cell mate! She claims that Aimée’s mother was imprisoned for terrorism. After her mother disappeared when Aimée was eight, her father had never spoken of her since. Now she is being offered something that belonged to her mother, but for a price. She needs to raise money, and to find out about her mother.
Aimée Leduc is head of Leduc Investigations which she has inherited through her grandfather and father, the latter who was a former police officer, and killed by a bomb blast that almost also killed her.
As Aimée endeavours to pick up the trail of the mysterious woman who claims to have known her mother she finds herself in a different world. Leduc Investigations deal with software programme security and Aimée finds herself in the world of intrigue and murder.
I love Paris, and oh! how wonderfully does Cara Black capture the essence that is so Paris. I was back there again, where I lived for a short three months, but which ensnared me for ever.
A
marvellous book that encompasses many facets of mystery that make it a compulsive
read. Highly recommended.
