A long-lost Modigliani portrait, a grieving brother's blood vendetta, a Soviet secret that's been buried for eighty yearsâParisian private investigator AimâÂŪe Leduc's current case is her most exciting one yet.
When AimâÂŪe's long-term partner and best friend Rene leaves their detective agency for a new job in Silicon Valley, AimâÂŪe knows she can handle the extra workload. At least, that what she tells herself ... repeatedly.
But all bets are off when Yuri Volodya, a mysterious old Russian man, hires AimâÂŪe to protect a painting. By the time she gets to his Montparnasse atelier, the precious painting has already been stolen, leaving AimâÂŪe smelling a rat. The next day, Yuri is found tortured to death in his kitchen. To top it all off, it looks like AimâÂŪe isn't the only one looking for the painting. Some very dangerous people are threatening her and her coworkers, and witnesses are dropping like flies. Now AimâÂŪe has to find the painting, stop her attackers, and figure out what her long-missing mother, who is on Interpol's most wanted list, has to do with all thisâfingers crossed she wasn't Yuri's murderer, despite clues pointing in that direction.
Obviously, Rene doesn't need to worry. AimâÂŪe has things under control.
