Cara Black, Murder Below Montparnasse
Saturday, March 9, 11:00
A long-lost Modigliani portrait, a grieving brother's blood vendetta, a Soviet secret that's been buried for 80 years—Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc's current case is her most exciting yet.
When Aimée's long-term partner and best friend Rene leaves their agency for a new job in Silicon Valley, Aimée knows she can handle the extra workload. At least, that's what she tells herself. Repeatedly.
But, all bets are off when Yuri Volodya, a mysterious old Russion hires Aimée to protect a painting. By the time she gets to his Montparnasse atelier, the precious painting has already been stolen (Aimée smells a rat!). The next day, Yuri is found tortured to death in his kitchen. Plus, it looks like Aimée isn't the only one looking for the painting. Very dangerous people are threatening her and her coworkers, and witnesses are dropping like flies. Now, Aimée has to find the painting, stop her attackers, and figure out what her long-missing mother (who is on Interpol's most wanted list) has to do with all this.
Obviously, Aimée has things under control!
Cara Black is the author of thirteen books in the bestselling Aimée Leduc series.
