Murder in the Bastille - Paperback

by Cara Black (Author)

Parisian P.I. Aim e Leduc is attacked and blinded during an investigation. Can she solve her case without her sight--and when her own life is in danger?

Parisian private investigator Aim e Leduc is all dressed up in her new Chinese silk jacket, supposedly a designer's "exclusive," for dinner with a difficult client at an elegant restaurant in the Bastille district. She is chagrined to see that the woman seated at the very next table is wearing an identical jacket. When the woman leaves her cell phone on the table, Aim e follows her to return it and is attacked in the shadowy Passage Boule Blanche. When she regains consciousness, Aim e finds that she is blind. Nevertheless, she is told she is lucky; the woman she was following was found in the next passage, murdered.

Aim e is determined to identify her attacker. Was he actually a serial killer targeting showy blondes, as the police insist? Was he really after the other woman? Or was Aim e his intended victim?
