MURDER IN THE MARAIS

IN THE JEWISH QUARTER OF PARIS AN OLD NIGHTMARE IS REBORN. AIMEE LEDUC, A HALF-AMERICAN, HALF-FRENCH INVESTIGATOR IN PARIS, IS APPROACHED BY A RABBI TO DECIPHER A FIFTY-YEAR-OLD ENCRYPTED PHOTOGRAPH AND DELIVER IT TO AN OLD WOMAN IN THE MARAIS, THE OLD JEWISH QUARTER OF THE CITY. WHEN SHE DOES SO, SHE FINDS A CORPSE ON WHOSE FOREHEAD A SWASTIKA HAS BEEN CARVED. WITH THE HELP OF HER PARTNER RENE, A DWARF WITH EXTRAORDINARY COMPUTER SKILLS, SHE SETS OUT TO SOLVE THIS HORRIBLE CRIME AND FINDS HERSELF CAUGHT UP IN A DANGEROUS GAME WITH LINKS TO BOTH MODERN POLITICS AND CRIMES FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
