New York Times bestseller Cara Black’s fashionable Parisian P.I. Aimée Leduc has a new look for her 14th adventure: Five months pregnant.
Murder in Pigalle—inspired by a true crime story set in Paris in the summer of 1998, Cara Black’s fourteenth Aimée Leduc mystery to her bestseller, Murder Below Montparnasse.
In Murder In Pigalle (Soho Crime March 4th, 2014) Aimée Leduc is thrust into the middle of a terrifying case set in Paris’ infamous Pigalle red light district at a time when she is trying very hard to be good. Or better. Her lifestyle has slowed down a bit and she’s trying to manage her work-life a bit better than she has in the past. After all, she has more than herself to look after these days. A reminder of which is evidenced by her diminishing wardrobe. She’s five-months pregnant and things just don’t fit like they used to. Chic and baby are two four letter words that do not get along.
But all of her best intentions to live the quiet life fall away when disaster strikes close to home. A serial rapist has been terrorizing Paris’s Pigalle neighborhood, following teenage girls home from junior high school and attacking them in their own houses. It is sad and frightening but has nothing to do with Aimée—until Zazie, the 14-year-old daughter of the proprietor of Aimée’s favorite café, disappears. The police aren’t mobilizing quickly enough and when Zazie’s desperate parents approach Aimée for help, she knows she couldn’t say no even if she wanted to. In the frantic race against time that ensues, Aimée discovers a terrifying secret neighborhood history that will leave lives in the whole quartier upended.
Inspired by a true crime story of a serial killer who wreaked havoc on Paris in the summer of 1998, Cara Black’s fourteenth Aimée Leduc mystery is a thrilling follow-up to her 2013 New York Times bestseller, Murder Below Montparnasse. (Murder in Pigalle)
“Transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French.”—Alan Furst
“Wry, complex, sophisticated, intensely Parisian … One of the very best heroines in crime fiction today.”—Lee Child
“So authentic you can practically smell the fresh baguettes and coffee.”—Val McDermid
“[Cara Black] is on to a good thing: each of her novels is set in a colorful Parisian neighborhood—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.”—The Seattle Times
“Black creates rich, plausible characters, giving them individuality and depth.”—San Francisco Gate
Cara Black is the NYTimes and USAToday bestselling author of 14 books in the Private Investigator Aimée Léduc series, which is set in Paris.

With more than 400,000 books in print, the Aimée Léduc series has been translated into German, Norwegian, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, and Hebrew.
Cara is included in the Great Women Mystery Writers 2nd Edition, by Elizabeth Lindsay. Her first novel, Murder in the Marais, was nominated for an Anthony Award for best first novel.
