The second Aime Leduc investigation set in Paris When Anas de Froissart calls Parisian private investigator Aime begging for help, Aime assumes the woman wants to hire her to do surveillance on her philandering politician husband again. Aime is too busy right now to indulge her. But Anas insists Aime must come, that she is in trouble and scared. Aime tracks Anas down just in time to see a car bomb explode, injuring Anas and killing the woman she was with. Anas can't explain what Aime just witnessed. The dead woman, Anas says, is Sylvie Coudray, her cheating husband's long-time mistress, but she has no idea who wanted her dead, and Anas officially hires Aime to investigate. As she digs into Sylvie Coudray's murky past, Aime finds that the dead woman may not be who Anas thought she was. Her Belleville neighborhood, full of North African immigrants, may be hiding clues to Sylvie's identity. As a prominent Algerian rights activist stages a hunger protest against new immigration laws, Aime begins to wonder whether Sylvie's death was an act of terrorism, and who else may be at risk.
