About the Book

A long-lost Modigliani portrait, a grieving brother's blood vendetta, a Soviet secret that's been buried for eighty years--Parisian private investigator Aim├(R)e Leduc's current case is her most exciting one yet. When Aim├(R)e's long-term partner and best friend Rene leaves their detective agency for a new job in Silicon Valley, Aim├(R)e knows she can handle the extra workload. At least, that what she tells herself ... repeatedly. But all bets are off when Yuri Volodya, a mysterious old Russian man, hires Aim├(R)e to protect a painting. By the time she gets to his Montparnasse atelier, the precious painting has already been stolen, leaving Aim├(R)e smelling a rat. The next day, Yuri is found tortured to death in his kitchen. To top it all off, it looks like Aim├(R)e isn't the only one looking for the painting. Some very dangerous people are threatening her and her coworkers, and witnesses are dropping like flies. Now Aim├(R)e 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--fingers crossed she wasn't Yuri's murderer, despite clues pointing in that direction. Obviously, Rene doesn't need to worry. Aim├(R)e has things under control.

Review :
"[Has] a lengthy, well-developed subplot. Allusions to Modigliani, Picasso, Cocteau, Man Ray, and Duchamp help evoke 1920s Paris." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Aimée Leduc, the appealing sleuth in this series...is always zipping around on her pink Vespa, carrying out some 'quick and dirty' computer security job. But she keeps up a running commentary on whatever quartier of the city her work takes her to. Here it's the unfashionable backside of Montparnasse...This unassuming neighborhood is a rich one for the purposes of a plot that hangs on a Modigliani canvas and involves Russian émigrés and Surrealist artists, including some who live on in legend." -- "New York Times Book Review" "Black is an old pro with an ear for language and dialogue and a gift for knowing just when to pop the next surprise." -- "Denver Post" "Brisk, engaging...Another great Aimée Leduc read; fans will be intrigued by the new developments." -- "Library Journal" "Consistently entertaining...Plus, there's a surprise at the end of the book that promises some very interesting times ahead." -- "Seattle Times" "Lighter than in most other Euro-noir. After all, this is Paris...The spice in this tale, set in 1998, involves a long-hidden, newly stolen Modigliani that Leduc is hired to retrieve. Before she can even begin hunting, her client is killed...Fortunately, Leduc has a network of loyal friends to aid in her escapades. Pity the knife-wielding villain who offends that infallible sense of style." -- "Wall Street Journal" "Madeleine Lambert brings a clear voice and authentic French accent to investigator Aimée Leduc and her compatriots...The plot, which is perfectly suited to the audio format, involves the black market art world, a long-lost portrait of Lenin by Modigliani, and Aimée's long-missing mother. Lambert moves the narration along at a snappy pace. She convincingly ramps up the drama of the heroine's escapades as she chases dangerous shadows down the cobblestoned alleyways of Paris on her trusty Vespa." -- "AudioFile"
