Aimee has rules about what cases she will take. But, when a simple intelligence job offers her enough money to pay off some of her bills, she takes it. However, when she attempts to deliver the rest of teh photo, she finds the recipient, a Jewish woman, dead with a swastika carved into her forehead. Then, Aimee receives even more funds to solve the murder which dredges up old wounds from WWII as well as newer white supremacist agendas.
Un misterioso rabino se acerca a Aimeé Leduc, detective parisina medio francesa y medio americana, y le pide que descifre una fotografía codificada de cincuenta años de antigüedad y se la haga llegar a una mujer en el Marais, el viejo barrio judío. Cuando lo hace, se encuentra con un cadáver en cuya frente alguien ha grabado una esvástica. Con la ayuda de su socio, un enano de extraordinarias habilidades informáticas, se decide a resolver este horrendo asesinato y se encuentra en el centro de un peligroso juego de política actual y viejos crímenes de guerra. Aimée recorre tejados y cloacas, los órganos del poder y los bajos fondos de París, para descubrir la historia de la ciudad que conforma su presente.
Had a really hard time sticking with this one even though I love Paris and it was highly recommended. I really wanted to like it but didn't. May try another in the series later. ( )
OK, it wasn't great, but it was fairly entertaining. I must admit it is unlikely that someone could vault the slate roofs of Paris in heels, but peut-etre pas impossible? One lives in hope. That said, I would not be averse to reading the next in the series. ( )
I think this series is better titled "An American in Paris" because in no way does Aimee speak like a Parisien. Too complicated a plot to really engage with and too many convenient guessing of passwords to be believable but a great dramatic ending, again hardly believable but a lot of fun. ( )
