Cara Black

An Aimée Leduc investigation, [18]

A dying man drags his oxygen machine and a notebook full of investment records into the law office of Éric Besson. For decades, he has been helping a cadre of dirty cops launder stolen money; the notebook contains his full confession. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc, Paris's chief prosecuting attorney, so the corruption can finally be brought to light. But en route to La Proc, Besson's courier-- his assistant and nephew-- is murdered, and the notebook disappears. Besson tries to hire private investigator Aimée Leduc to find the notebook, but she is reluctant to get involved. Dangerous men will kill for the notebook-- and her father's name might be among the dirty cops listed within it. --, Adapted from jacket
