Murder in Bel-Air

Cara Blacks riveting 19th installment in her New York Times bestselling Parisian detective series entangles private investigator AimA©e Leduc in a dangerous web of international spycraft, post-colonial Franco-African politics, and neighborhood secrets in Pariss 12th arrondissement. Parisian private investigator AimA©e Leduc is about to go onstage to deliver the keynote address at a tech conference that is sure to secure Leduc Detective some much-needed business contracts when she gets an emergency phone call from her daughters playgroup: AimA©es own mother, who was supposed to pick Chloe up, never showed. Abandoning her hard-won speaking gig, AimA©e rushes to get Chloe, annoyed that her mother has let her down yet again. But as AimA©e and Chloe are leaving the playground, AimA©e witnesses the body of a homeless woman being wheeled away from the neighboring convent, where nuns run a soup kitchen. The last person anyone saw the dead woman talking to was AimA©es mother, who has vanished. Trying to figure out what happened to Sydney Leduc, AimA©e tracks down the dead womans possessions, which include a huge amount of cash. What did Sydney stumble into? Is she in trouble?
