Murder At La Villette

Melac, Aim e Leduc's ex, has been hounding her for weeks, pressuring her to move little Chlo to Brittany, threatening to take her to court for custody--all but stalking her. Harassed and fed up, Aim e has stopped taking his calls. That's why she doesn't know as she's leaving a client's office late one night that Melac is waiting for her by the Bassin de la Villette--where an assailant attacks him just in time for Aimee to find his still-bleeding body in the canal. Interrupted, the killer knocks Aim e unconscious and plants the bloody knife in her hands for the police to find.

Now Aim e is in police custody, debilitated by her concussion, with overwhelming evidence working against her. She has to figure out who murdered Melac--not an easy job, given the target on his back as a former homicide investigator. Cut off from her typical network and forced to operate under multiple layers of cover, Aim e must go deep into the underbelly of Paris's 19th arrondissement, where she rubs shoulders with biker gangs, paranoid journalists, grieving parents, and frustratingly tight-lipped ex-cops on her hunt for justice.
