Murder in Pigalle (2014)
“AIMÉE’S HEELS CLICKED over the cobbles as she hurried through la Nouvelle Athènes to meet Madame Vasseur. The über-wealthy slice of the quartier seemed almost oppressive after the vibrant, humming Pigalle and the jazz trio she’d passed on the Grands Boulevards a few streets away.
She turned the corner to see the woman’s distinctive Mercedes, but no waiting Madame Vasseur on the dimly lit rue. Merde! Not a goddamned café in sight—not in these parts, where one paid half a million francs for a mai...d’s garret.
This dark street, one of the most expensive in the ninth arrondissement, oozed wealth. Ahead of her a gate fronted what looked like a palace. Trees made a canopy over the alley, which was silent except for her beating heart.
Had Madame Vasseur forgotten her promise to meet Aimée before the benefit?
On her cell phone she hit callback, but Madame Vasseur’s number went straight to voice mail.
Damn. The woman had stood her up. Two precious hours lost.
No return call from Zacharié’s parole officer.MoreLess
