A new mystery series set in Paris introduces intrepid
detective Aime Leduc.
It is November 1993 and the French prime ministerial
candidate is about to sign a treaty with Germany that will
severely restrict immigration, reminiscent of the Vichy
laws. Aime Leduc is approached by a rabbi to decipher a
fifty-year-old encrypted photograph and place it in the
hands of Lili Stein. When she arrives at Lili's apartment
in the Marais, the old Jewish quarter of Paris, she finds
a corpse in whose forehead is carved a swastika. With the
help of her partner, a dwarf with extraordinary computer
hacking skills, Aime is determined to solve this
horrendous crime. Then more murders follow. Her search for
the killer leads her to a German war veteran involved in
the 1940s with a Jewish girl he was supposed to send to
her death. It takes Aime undercover inside a neo-Nazi
group, where she must play a dangerous game of current
politics and old war crimes. Many of the older Jews in the
Marais are afraid and prefer to leave the past alone, but
the horrible legacy of the death camps and the
words "never forget" propel Aime to find out the true
identities of the criminals past and present.
