The world knows Aimée Leduc, heroine of 15 mysteries in this
New York Times bestselling series, as a très
chic, nononsense private investigator—the toughest and
most relentless in Paris. Now, author Cara Black dips back
in time to reveal how Aimée first became a detective . .
.
November 1989: Aimée Leduc is in her first year
of college at Paris’s preeminent medical school. She lives
in a 17th-century apartment that overlooks the Seine with
her father, who runs the family detective agency.
But
the week the Berlin Wall crumbles, so does Aimée’s life as
she knows it. First, someone has sabotaged her lab work,
putting her at risk of failing out of the program. Then, she
finds out her aristo boyfriend is getting engaged to another
woman. And finally, Aimée’s father takes off to Berlin on a
mysterious errand. He asks Aimée to help out at the
detective agency while he’s gone—as if she doesn’t already
have enough to do. But the case Aimée finds herself
investigating—a murder linked to a transport truck of Nazi
gold that disappeared in the French countryside during the
height of World War II—has gotten under her skin. Her heart
may not lie in medicine after all—maybe it’s time to think
harder about the family business.
