SYNOPSIS

As a child, she was the only witness to a heinous crime. Now, Catherine Monsigny is an ambitious rookie attorney in Paris, working for a well-known firm. On the side, she does pro bono work and hits the jackpot: a major felony case that could boost her career. A black woman is accused of poisoning her rich farmer husband in a peaceful village in central France, where nothing ever happens. While preparing the case, Catherine’s own past comes back with a vengeance. This fast-paced story follows Catherine’s determined search for the truth in both her case and her own life. Who can she believe? And can you ever escape from your past? The story twists and turns, combining subtle psychological insight with detailed descriptions of the region. [from the publisher’s website]

Praise for The Paris Lawyer

“Sylvie Granotier’s The Paris Lawyer is a beautifully written
and elegantly structured novel
of a woman’s attempt to solve the central mystery of her life,
along with several other mysteries along the way.
It captures the reader from the first page, and never lets go.”
Thomas H. Cook, winner of the Martin Beck Award,
Barry Award for Best Novel,
Edgar Award for Best Novel
