Cara Black has been a confirmed Francophile since high school and is now a member of the Paris Société Historique in the Marais and the author of the bestselling mystery series featuring Aimée Leduc. The 16th Leduc novel, Murder on the Quai, looks back to 1989, when Aimée still wanted to become a doctor. It was not a good year for her. Her lab work was sabotaged. Her boyfriend became engaged to another woman. But when her father left for Berlin and put her in charge of his detective agency, Aimée’s luck changed. Finding herself more and more absorbed in a murder case linked to a missing Nazi truck and the gold it was smuggling, she let her other problems go and discovered that she had a future in the family business, after all.
