DescriptionA confession fifty years in the making puts everyones favorite Paris d t ctive tr s chic, Aim e Leduc, on a collision course with the Hand, a cabal of corrupt Parisian cops among who masterminded her fathers murder--and among whose ranks he might have once found membership. When a friends child is kidnapped while wearing her daughters hoodie, Aim e realizes that the case has crossed into the realm of the personal in more ways than one. A dying man drags his oxygen machine into the office of ric Besson, a lawyer in Pariss 13th arrondissement. The old man, an accountant, is carrying a dilapidated notebook full of meticulous investment records. For decades, he has been helping a cadre of dirty cops launder stolen money. The notebook contains his full confession--hes waited 50 years to make it, and now it cant wait another day. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc, Pariss chief prosecuting attorney, so the corruption can finally be brought to light. But en route to La Proc, Bessons courier--his assistant and nephew--is murdered, and the notebook disappears. Grief-stricken ric Besson tries to hire private investigator Aim e Leduc to find the notebook, but she is reluctant to get involved. Her father was a cop and was murdered by the same dirty syndicate the notebook implicates. Shes not sure which shes more afraid of, the dangerous men who would kill for the notebook or the idea that her fathers name might be among the dirty cops listed within it.
