The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont
Over the years, mystery writers from Edgar Allan Poe to Clara Black have been attracted to the contradictions of Paris, to the decay beneath its glamorous surface and the bad things that happen when darkness douses that magical light.
Black is an American writer who has made Paris her stalking ground. All 20 of her “Aimée Leduc Investigation” titles are named for the scene of a crime committed somewhere in or near the city, which this time around is the Porte de Versailles, an exposition center in the 15th Arrondissement.
