Praise for New York Times Bestselling Murder Below MontparnasseA Strand&#160;Magazine Best Book of the Year"Francophiles and mystery-novel lovers alike will devour investigator Aim&eacute;e Leduc's latest outing, which takes her through the gorgeous if treacherous world of black-market art in Paris, as she safeguards a long-lost Modigliani painting."&mdash;Entertainment Weekly"As always, with airfares so high, Black offers armchair travelers a whirlwind trip through the City of Light."&mdash; USA&#160;Today&ldquo;Aim&eacute;e Leduc, the appealing sleuth in this series . . . is always zipping around on her pink Vespa, carrying out some "quick and dirty" computer security job. But she keeps up a running commentary on whatever quartier of the city her work takes her to. Here it's the unfashionable backside of Montparnasse . . . This unassuming neighborhood is a rich one for the purposes of a plot that hangs on a Modigliani canvas and involves Russian &eacute;migr&eacute;s and Surrealist artists, including some who live on in legend.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;[Black's] tone is lighter than in most other Euro-noir. After all, this is Paris . . . The spice in this tale, set in 1998, involves a long-hidden, newly stolen Modigliani that Leduc is hired to retrieve. Before she can even begin hunting, her client is killed . . . Fortunately, Leduc has a network of loyal friends to aid in her escapades. Pity the knife-wielding villain who offends that infallible sense of style.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"Aim&eacute;e Leduc is never less than chic."&mdash; The Seattle Times"Black is an old pro with a ear for language and dialogue and a gift for knowing just when to pop the next surprise." &mdash;The Denver Post"For those who love or long for Paris, Cara Black's&#160;Murder Below Montparnasse&#160;is an intriguing wander through the streets of the French capital." &mdash;Noir Journal"A breathless tale of double-, triple- and quadruple-crosses as the private eye finds herself at the heart of a century-old plot that incorporates not only the great painters of the avant garde but also one Vladimir Illyich Lenin." &mdash;The Irish Times&ldquo;Thoroughly and intriguingly plotted, as always...[grabs] the reader from its opening pages to its heart-rending denouement. &#160;Further, the Paris setting, especially its Montparnasse locale, is marvelously evoked by Black, a frequent visitor to France. &#160;A visitor she may be, but she writes of The City of Lights like a native Parisian.&rdquo; &mdash;Deadly Pleasures"Brisk, engaging . . . Another great Aim&eacute;e Leduc read; fans will be intrigued by the new developments."&mdash;Library Journal"Tantalizing."&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Aim&eacute;e [goes] into high gear, and that turns out to be a very good thing as the plot strands start raining down on her like golf-ball-sized hailstones . . . Longtime fans of the series will turn pages frantically, hoping to finally meet Aim&eacute;e&rsquo;s mother, and, as &#160;always, Black directs traffic with panache.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist"Dressed in black leather leggings, ballet flats, a retro-Pucci silk tunic topped by a flounced jacket, sitting on a Recamier sofa, her bichon frise Miles Davis beside her, discussing the latest case with her associates, dwarf-like computer expert Ren&eacute; Friant and down-at-the heels aristocrat Saj de Rosnay, she can only be Aim&eacute;e Leduc, the most famous private detective in Paris."&mdash;The Baton Rouge Advocate "Black&rsquo;s writing is wonderfully evocative, making you feel like you&rsquo;re walking on the streets of Paris with Aimee or ducking into a bistro with her. Even if you haven&rsquo;t read any of the previous books, you can jump into the series with this novel without much effort, and with the reward of reading a wonderfully crafted and involving mystery." &mdash;Suspense Magazine"As usual, Cara Black imparts her love for Paris. Here she vividly sketches the past glamour of Montparnasse."&#160;&#160;&mdash;New York Journal of Books"Murder Below Montparnasse is fast-paced, exciting and interesting."&mdash;Bookgasm"This series gets better and better with each book, and I can't wait to see what sort of trouble Aim&eacute;e gets into next!"&mdash;Kittling BooksPraise for the Aim&eacute;e Leduc series"Forever young, forever stylish, forever in love with Paris&mdash;forever Aim&eacute;e."&mdash;New York Times Book Review&#160;"Transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French."&#9472;Alan Furst, author of Night Soldiers &#160; "Wry, complex, sophisticated, intensely Parisian.... One of the very best heroines in crime fiction today."&#9472;Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series &#160; "So authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee."&mdash;Val McDermid, author of The Mermaids Singing&ldquo;[Cara Black] is on to a good thing: each of her novels is set in a colorful Parisian neighborhood&mdash;and there are a lot of them. The cumulative result of reading this addictive series is a sort of mini-tour of the city, as seen through a filter of fictional murder.... Leduc is always a reliable and charming guide to the city's lesser-known corners.&rdquo;&mdash;The Seattle Times &ldquo;Black creates rich, plausible characters, giving them individuality and&#160;depth.&rdquo;&mdash;San Francisco Gate &#160; &ldquo;Brilliant.... Turn to the Aimee Leduc series for edge-of-your-seat action and intelligent commentary on the world and the past.&rdquo;&mdash;Bookslut  &#160; &ldquo;Cara Black never fails to bring Paris alive in each of the twelve books.&rdquo;&mdash;Murder By Type
