About this audiobook
"Chilling. . . . The book vividly depicts a gritty, working-class part of Paris. . . . Black succeeds in making the reader feel the damp, the snow, the fear."-Publishers Weekly "I always wondered why I used to quicken my step in Montmartre. After reading Cara Black's wonderful book, now I know. As atmospheric as anything by John le CarrE."-Philip Kerr, author of Berlin Noir AimEe's childhood friend, Laure, is a policewoman. Her partner, Jacques, has set up a meeting in Montmartre with an informer. When Laure goes along as backup, Jacques is lured to a rooftop, where he is shot to death. Laure's gun has been fired, gunpowder residue is on her hands, and she is charged with her partner's murder. The police close ranks against the alleged cop killer. AimEe is determined to clear Laure's name. In doing so, she encounters separatist terrorists, Montmartre prostitutes, a surrealist painter's stepdaughter, and a crooked Corsican bar owner, and learns of "Big Ears"-the French "ear in the sky" that records telephonic and electronic communications for the security services. Identifying Jacques' murderer brings her closer to solving her own father's death, which still haunts her. She cannot rest until she finds out who was responsible.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Parisian P.I. Aimée Leduc strives to clear the name of a childhood friend, now a policewoman, who's charged with shooting her partner, Jacque. Aimee Leduc encounters many adventures again in this book; terrorists, prostitutes, a painter's stepdaughter and a crooked Corsican bar owner. She learns of "Big Ears" which records electronic communications for security services. Solving Jacques' murder brings her closer to solving her father's death which still haunts her. Read these books if you love Paris. They are full of adventure and the setting is just as interesting as the characters in the book. 3.5
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The local characters and local color are well done. Like the others in the series, this book is tightly plotted, and puts the reader firmly in the district, pointing out places of interest as the plot moves forward.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Spannend, man muss sich teilweise aber seht konzentrieren um die geografischen Hinweise (die Story spielt hauptsächlich im Pariser Viertel Montmartre) aufzusaugen. Auch ein interessanter geschichtlicher und politischer Exkurs über die Beziehung von Korsika und seiner Einwohner zu Frankreich.
