Cooks with Books: Cara Black - Murder on the Left Bank

Cara Black is the author of eighteen books in the New York Times bestselling detective series set in Paris.

Murder on the Left Bank is a beautifully crafted page turner that has all of Black’s trademark ingredients including suspenseful plotting, sharp dialogue, and colorful sights and smells of Paris. Readers will visit an ancient royal tapestry factory, art galleries, pungent cafes, and lesser known parts of Paris—all on a pink Vespa.

A confession fifty years in the making puts everyone’s favorite Paris détective très chic, Aimée Leduc, on a collision course with the “Hand,” a cabal of corrupt Parisian cops among who masterminded her father’s murder–and among whose ranks he might have once found membership.
