Cara - have "devoured" the last adventure of Aimee Le Duc -- and was so glad to see you at the Maltese Omelet and your book launch on the 1st of March. Ed is going to start charging me rent - have been to the bookstore 4 times in the last 6 days.

Cara -- check out the NYTimes for 8/25/09 -- In France, Intricate Tale of Corporate Espionage - this sounds right up Aimee's alley ... am sure you're involved in writing but this might be a grain for another story. Or remind you of parts of Murder in the Latin Quarter for sure!

Can't wait til 2010 for the next installment.

PARIS — The story has the elements of a corporate thriller: a cast that includes former French spies and military men, a cycling champion, Greenpeace advocates and a dogged judge whose investigation takes him from a sports doping laboratory outside Paris to a Moroccan jail and some top French corporations.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

Cara -- welcome back to the chilly Bay Area. Hope the tourists didn't overwhelm you in Paris - and WAY TO GO with a short story in French in an anthology. I'm missing Stacey's -- and going faithfully to M is for Mystery and Book Passage events. Angels & Demons was a guilty pleasure -- Ewan McGregor as the camerlengo (though the chamberlain is typically a Cardinal -- they had him as a Monsgr.) was brilliant. Afterward, I kept wondering why the hell nobody gave the Professor (i.e., "Tom") a map. If you were trying to stop an explosion of anti-matter (destroying Rome) -- don't you think they would have had GPS? Hope to see you soon!

Cara -- just found this site. Delighted to see you as a member. Saw an article in the NY Times Review of Books about Aimee in the Latin Quarter. Great coverage -- glad they agree with me too! Sending you all my best! M

in Montmartre, Linda. Sun's shining on the balcony and and everyone's lingerling over lunch...
