Murder in the Bastille

Aimee Leduc has been attacked in a side street in Paris.  Fortunately, he partner, Rene Friant had been on the phone with her at the time.  Unfortunately, the attack resulted in her needing brain surgery to repair a ruptured vein.  It also means that she has lost her vision!

Sergeant Loic Bellan has been assigned to Aimee’s case.  He has his own issues, which he is dealing with.

Aimee hears on the news that there had been a murder nearby to where she had been attacked.  The news accuses “The Beast of Bastille”.  She gets in touch with her godfather, Commissaire Morbier because she is sure that she wasn’t attacked by the Beast.  She feels that it was a case of mistaken identity.

While Aimee is in the hospital, Rene begins to investigate.  He learns that thugs are forcing people out of their apartments so that a company can come in and build anew. What Aimee and Rene are about to discover is a lot more than they expected to find.

Author Cara Black’s fourth novel in this series presents a unique way to solve a problem.  Although blind, Aimee’s mind is not dulled, and Rene adds his unique perspective to solving the mysteries.  A good quick read.
