Synopsis

Parisian P.I. Aimée Leduc is attacked and blinded during an investigation. Can she solve her case without her sight—and when her own life is in danger?

Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc is all dressed up in her new Chinese silk jacket, supposedly a designer’s “exclusive,” for dinner with a difficult client at an elegant restaurant in the Bastille district. She is chagrined to see that the woman seated at the very next table is wearing an identical jacket. When the woman leaves her cell phone on the table, Aimée follows her to return it and is attacked in the shadowy Passage Boule Blanche. When she regains consciousness, Aimée finds that she is blind. Nevertheless, she is told she is lucky; the woman she was following was found in the next passage, murdered.

Aimée is determined to identify her attacker. Was he actually a serial killer targeting showy blondes, as the police insist? Was he really after the other woman? Or was Aimée his intended victim?

This episode of the Aimee Leduc saga is set before "Murder on the Ile-Saint-Louis," but it doesn't matter. And, for some inexplicable reason, the events take place in the fall of 1994.

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on July 29, 2017

Where to begin? I did not like this book at all, but I struggled through and finished it, because I didn't have anything else to read. I have only read the first Aimee Leduc and remembered Aimee's unbelievable physical fights and death-defying experiences. This book has many of those dramatic episode......more
