Murder in Pigalle

In June 1998, as Paris swelters under the summer heat and football fans riot in anticipation of the World Cup, private investigator Aimée Leduc tries to embrace a quieter life, focused on computer security and preparing for motherhood. However, her plans are derailed when a serial rapist targets teenage girls in her neighborhood, culminating in the disappearance of Zazie, the daughter of a local café owner. With the police slow to act, Aimée is drawn into a desperate search that uncovers a chilling history hidden within her community. This gripping tale is inspired by true events from that summer, marking the fourteenth installment in Cara Black's acclaimed mystery series.
