Description
A confession fifty years in the making puts everyoneâs favorite Paris dĂ©tĂ©ctive trĂšs chic, AimĂ©e Leduc, on a collision course with the âHand,â a cabal of corrupt Parisian cops among who masterminded her father's murderâand among whose ranks he might have once found membership. When a friendâs child is kidnapped while wearing her daughterâs hoodie, AimĂ©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 Ăric Besson, a lawyer in Parisâs 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 confessionâheâs waited 50 years to make it, and now it canât wait another day. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc, Parisâs chief prosecuting attorney, so the corruption can finally be brought to light. But en route to La Proc, Bessonâs courierâhis assistant and nephewâis murdered, and the notebook disappears.
Grief-stricken Ăric Besson tries to hire private investigator AimĂ©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. Sheâs not sure which sheâs more afraid of, the dangerous men who would kill for the notebook or the idea that her fatherâs name might be among the dirty cops listed within it. Ultimately thatâs the reason she must take the case, which leads her across the Left Bank, from the Cambodian enclave of Khmer Rouge refugees to the ancient royal tapestry factories to the modern art galleries.
