A long-lost Modigliani portrait, a grieving brother's blood vendetta,
a Soviet secret that's been buried for 80 years--Parisian private
investigator Aimée Leduc's current case is her most exciting one yet.
The cobbled streets of Montparnasse might have been boho-chic in the
1920s, when artists, writers, and their muses drank absinthe and danced
on cafe tables. But to Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc, these
streets hold darker secrets. When an old Russian man named Yuri hires
Aimée to protect a priceless painting that just might be a Modigliani,
she learns how deadly art theft can be. Yuri is found tortured to death
in his atelier, and the painting is missing. Every time Aimée thinks
she's found a new witness, the body count rises. What exactly is so
special about this painting that so many people are willing to kill--and
die--for it?
