Cara Black

Cara Black is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of 20 books in the Private Investigator Aimée Leduc series, and two World War II-set novels featuring American markswoman Kate Rees. Black has received multiple nominations for the Anthony and Macavity Awards, a Washington Post Book World Book of the Year citation, the Médaille de la Ville de Paris—the Paris City Medal, which is awarded in recognition of contribution to international culture—and invitations to be the Guest of Honor at conferences such as the Paris Polar Crime Festival and Left Coast Crime.

Black's new novel is Night Flight to Paris, the new Kate Rees title.

Recently I asked the author about what she reading. Black's reply:
I've been reading a non-fiction book, The S.S. Officer's Armchair, that I heard about on the BBC.

The title grabbed me and it's a fascinating deep dive into a real story. Daniel Lee, the author is a historian and professor, who uncovers the hidden life of a Nazi. Lee, like a detective dips into the biography of this S.S man whose swastika - covered documents were uncovered inside the cushion of an armchair by an upholsterer in Amsterdam decades later.
