Someone impersonating Parisian P.I. Aimée Leduc shoots her partner, René, and eyewitnesses identify Aimée as the culprit. She must clear herself and find the shooter before she finishes the job
Just as Parisian private investigator Aimée Leduc is about to leave for New York City to pursue a lead on a man who might be her brother, her fellow detective, René Friant, is wounded by a near-fatal gunshot. Aimée is distraught over René’s condition and horrified to be under suspicion for the attack; police have pegged her as the guilty party. At the same time, a large, mysterious sum appears in Leduc Detective’s bank account, and tax authorities descend upon Aimée. It seems someone is impersonating her—someone who wants revenge. But for what?

Review:
Praise for Murder in the Palais Royal
"Forever young, forever stylish, forever in love with Paris—forever Aimée."
—The New York Times Book Review
“Such fun . . . a delightfully unbuttoned Audrey Hepburn for the twenty-first century.”
—Booklist
“[Aimée’s] two investigations link in a surprising way—there’s a really ripping ending—and make for interestingly different and overlapping tension. And with Aimée really on the defensive, she’s more appealingly tough yet vulnerable than ever. With its multiple strands, this work has a somewhat different feel from other Aimée Leduc novels. But never fear, it’s still a winner.”
—Library Journal
Praise for the New York Times bestselling Aimée Leduc series
“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
“As always, with airfares so high, Black offers armchair travelers a whirlwind trip through the City of Light.”
