From the author of the highly praised, award-winning Murder in the Marais comes this second Aimee Leduc investigation. Set in a working class neighbourhood in Paris, tensions run high as a hunger strike to protest strict immigration laws escalates among the Algerian residents. Aimee barely escapes death in a car bombing, turning her attention from the exclusive Place Vendome to the underground North African network, where she must search among Islamic fundamentalists and Algerian nationalists for the cold, dark truth.
