Cara Black, "Murder on the Left Bank"

Cara Black discusses her novel, "Murder on the Left Bank" at Politics and Prose at Union Market on 7/20/18.

Black has been a confirmed Francophile since high school and is now a member of the Paris Société Historique in the Marais and the author of the bestselling mystery series featuring Aimée Leduc. The eighteenth Leduc novel finds the no-nonsense private investigator facing a case that may tell her more than she can bear to know. She’s hired to find a notebook full of incriminating evidence against a syndicate of corrupt cops. Leduc’s father was a cop, and he was killed by the gang in question—but could he have been part of it too? Almost not wanting to find the truth, Leduc sets out on a quest that takes her across the Left Bank, and Black richly evokes the sights and sounds of Paris from historic tapestry factories to museums to immigrant neighborhoods.
