Aimee Leduc has spent a romantic night with Yves Robert, an
investigative reporter for Agence France Press, only to find him gone in
the morning. He had asked her to marry him, and she had said yes. She
wasn’t impressed that he wasn’t there in the morning. A few hours
later she is asked to identify a murder victim, whose last call had been
to her cell phone, which had been switched off the night before. The
victim is Yves! She promises him that she will find out who was
responsible.
Aimee finds a photographer who worked with Yves and begins to
investigate his murder. She finds out from him that he had been looking
into Turkish Kurd rebels. From a note in Yves’ wallet she learns about
an assassination attempt planned on an important Kurd member of the
Turkish parliament. What could she do to prevent it?
When the photographer is murdered in the Gare du Nord, just as Aimee is
arriving to meet with him, she knows that she too is being watched. She
is fortunate to be able to frustrate the assassination attempt, but
afterwards she learns that Yves was investigating a group called the
Yellow Crescent from the Middle East that doesn’t want Turkey to become a
part of the EU.
The more that Aimee learned, the more the questions rose up. When shots
are fired at her, Aimee thinks she can identify the killer of Yves and
the person behind the planned assassination. However, when she gets to
the assassin, her mind is changed.
Will the arrest of the assassin be the end of Aimee’s search? Author
Cara Black has more for Aimee to do in this thriller before she can
solve who the killer of Yves is, and it comes with a surprise. A good
quick read.
