The 7th Woman by French author Frédérique Molay (
SYKM,
Wikipedia FR), 1st in her Paris Homicide series starring police chief Nico Sirsky. This won the Quai des Orfèvres prize (
Wikipedia) in 2007.
According to the publisher's newsletter, due to some sort of territorial complications, they can only offer the sale price in the US & UK, even though the translation is available from them in other countries (if you or someone you know has a US-based account, it can be purchased as a gift and redeemed in other countries). I've read a few of their translated works in the past, and I'd say they do a pretty decent job as far as I can tell, not usually having access to the originals myself. (If you are interested in the original of this, occasionally publisher Fayard does an annual sale on the older award-winning volumes when prize-giving time comes around again.)
Winner of France's prestigious Prix du Quai des Orfèvres prize for best crime fiction, named Best Crime Fiction Novel of the Year, and already an international bestseller with over 150,000 copies sold.
There's no rest for Paris's top criminal investigation division, La Crim'. Who is preying on women in the French capital? How can he kill again and again without leaving any clues? A serial killer is taking pleasure in a macabre ritual that leaves the police on tenterhooks. Chief of Police Nico Sirsky—a super cop with a modern-day real life, including an ex-wife, a teenage son and a budding love story—races against the clock to solve the murders as they get closer and closer to his inner circle. Will he resist the pressure? The story grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page, leading you behind the scenes with the French police and into the coroner’s office. It has the suspense of Seven, with CSI-like details. You will never experience Paris the same way again!
