Murder in Clichy (Aimee Leduc Investigations, No. 5)
- Used Book in Good Condition
A botched assignment leaves Parisian P.I. AimÃ©e Leduc in possession of a cache of priceless Vietnamese jade. The jadeâ€™s history is steeped in colonial bloodshedâ€”and someone is willing to spill even more blood to get it back

Private investigator AimÃ©e Leduc has been introduced to the Cao Dai temple in Paris by her partner, RenÃ© Friant. He urges her to learn to meditate: she could use a more healthful approach to life. The Vietnamese nun Linh has been helping AimÃ©e to attain her goal, so when she asks AimÃ©e for a favorâ€”to go to the Clichy quartier to exchange an envelope for a packageâ€”RenÃ© prompts AimÃ©e to agree. But the intended recipient, ThadÃ©e Baret, is shot and dies in AimÃ©eâ€™s arms before the transaction can be completed, leaving AimÃ©e with a wounded arm, a check for 50,000 francs, and a trove of ancient jade artifacts.

Whoever killed Baret wants the jade. The RGâ€”the French secret serviceâ€”a group of veterans of the war in Indochina and some wealthy ex-colonials and international corporations seeking oil rights are all implicated. And the nun, Linh, has disappeared.
