About The Book:
Aria Nevins, formerly a respected American journalist, with her reputation ruined by a serious lapse in judgment leading to a woman’s death, has fled to a questionable job in Paris. She’s embedded with top French homicide detective Noah Roche and his team for one week; her task is to follow them and write about their work.
Roche is suspicious of her motives, and she finds herself fighting for credibility while trying to gain access to every aspect of a murder investigation. The problem? Each member of the play’s star-filled cast and crew is a suspect in this shocking and grisly crime.
The case is marred by false leads, an attempted murder at the theater, old loyalties, and obstacles placed in their path by entitled theater luminaries, and it’s a race against time to find the killer.

I loved The Curtain Falls in Paris.

Zackheim’s writing is vivid, passionate and always entertaining. Robert Dugoni, New York Times Best Selling Author of The Tracy Crosswhite Series.
