"an authentic puzzle that unravels surprisingly yet logically in a setting of unrivalled charm" - Kirkus Reviews "One of the best new writers in the field today, Black sets her novels in a Paris so real one can hear and smell the street [...] the stuff of a thoroughly engrossing story that's never less than compelling" - Publisher's Weekly

When a mysterious visitor promises contact with her long-lost mother, Aime Leduc finds herself hot on the trail of the Seventies radicals with whom her mother was evidently associated. The result is not just good suspense but an affecting and realistic psychological study of a daughter's coming to terms with an absent parent. This is another high-class mystery from Black, whose previous works in the series (Murder in Belleville, Murder in the Marais) have the same indelible sense of place and sophisticated political context.
