Summary: The village-like neighborhood of Passy, home to many of Paris's wealthiest residents, is the last place one would expect a murder. But when Aimee Leducr's godfather, Morbier, a police commissaire, asks her to check on his girlfriend at her home there, that's exactly what Aimee finds. Xavierre, a haut bourgeois matron of Basque origin, is strangled in her garden while Aimee waits inside. Circumstantial evidence makes Morbier the prime suspect, and to vindicate him, Aimee must identify the real killer. Her investigation leads her to police corruption; the radical Basque terrorist group, and a kidnapped Spanish princess.
