Murder in the Sentier - Cara Black

Once filled with fashionable mansions the historic Sentier district of Paris has nowadays fallen on hard times, housing the rag trade alongside sleazy nightclubs.

Aime Leduc finds herself drawn to the area when a woman, newly released from prison, tells her she knew Aime's long-lost mother. Aime is shocked to hear that her mother was a member of the notorious 1970s Red Terrorist gang but before she can discover more, her contact is murdered.

Desperate to find her mother, Aime becomes embroiled with resurgent terrorists, no longer motivated by political ideals but ruthlessly seeking hidden loot - which also seems to have disappeared without trace.
