Aimee Leduc has been handed a file with a mysterious code in it. She
has been asked to break it and pass the results on to a woman. She
determines that it is an old Cold War code, and it should be easy to
break. She couldn’t be more wrong. When she does break it, the
computer simply provides her with a picture; a torn picture at that.
When Aimee delivers it to the person to whom it was to be given, she
finds the body of a woman. A swastika has been carved in her forehead.
The inspector who arrives is her godfather, Morbier.
The following morning, her partner, Rene Friant has an envelope left by
the man who had given her the code. Inside the envelope was fifty
thousand francs and a note telling her to find the killer. Yet, the
following day, she receives a fax telling her to not get involved or she
will end up dead. Who knew of her planned investigation?
When the man who gave Aimee the initial case was knocked into a bus, she
is surprised that Morbier is told to back off. Shortly afterwards she
herself is threatened in person by someone who claims to be with a
government agency. However, when she hacks into all the government
agencies, she can find no evidence of him.
Before she knows it, Aimee is participating in a Neo-Nazi gathering. Her
investigation is taking her back into the Nazi era of WWII. Not long
after this, someone breaks into her office and leaves a threatening
message painted on the wall. What has she gotten herself into? No one
wants the past dug up!
Author Cara Black has an interesting adventure ahead for Aimee and her
partner, Rene as they go about solving this case. Fast paced, full of
action, this thriller is a very good read.
