Publisher Description

Facing a tight deadline on a computer security contract, Aimée responds to a telephone call from a stranger that leads her to an abandoned infant in a courtyard on the Ile Saint-Louis. She brings the baby home with her, calls her Stella, and awaits contact from the mother. But days pass, and no one reclaims the infant.

Meanwhile, a group of environmental protestors is trying to stop the government from entering into a contract with an oil company notorious for pollution. As Aimée attempts to identify the baby's mother, two murders and an abortive bombing involving the protestors lead her - and little Stella - into danger. On the run in the sewers beneath the Seine, Aimée finally finds the woman she has been looking for, only to discover that the man she has fallen in love with is not who she thought he was.

"I love Aimee Leduc! Not as dark as Lisbeth Salander, but very feisty. She lives on the Ile Saint-Louis in Paris. Cara Black does such a great job taking the reader with her as she walks the streets of Paris. Reading the book I feel in love with Ile Saint-Louis so when we were there last month I HAD to go walk around where Aimee lives. And it's even better in person and I didnt witness any murders but had a great time snooping around the island and had a lovely dinner as well!!"

    " I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have the others I have read. There was an added twist in that Aimee Leduc had to take care of a newborn infant while maintaining her business and solving a murder and other crimes. The action was great as usual. I will keep reading more in this series. "

    " Murder on the Ile Saint-Louis takes the reader into a sabotaged protest and media effort by a heretofore peaceful environmental group speaking out against an impending government contract with a notorious oil company. Unbeknownst to Aimee and Rene, they are doing computer security work for the PR firm representing said group of polluters. In the midst of all the craziness--and this one really takes the gateau in terms of its requirement of willing suspension of disbelief--a baby is left in Aimee's care as the newborn's mother, unknown to Aimee, flees her pursuers. Despite some over the top pyrotechnics, the ever-present WWII history of lost children, the retreating dreams of once-optimistic rebels, and the quirky City within the City's residents (some of whom sound a bit like residents of another island with which readers are familiar), readers learn a bit more about Aimee's mother, about Aimee's own hidden depths, and get just a bit more about Rene. "

    " It was a loaner that I took on a flight. I am a fan of Paris, but not of the flat cliched tone of the book. The endless label dropping was a little weird. (Her fuchsia agent provocateur bra got wet!) "
