3.5 stars.

Chosen for France in my read around the world challenge.

Lucie Toledo is a woman working for a PI agency who is moderately good at her job. After "botching" a job tailing a teenager named Valentine, she is then promptly hired to find Valentine by the girl's grandmother. Lucie is out of her depth, having never worked missing persons, so she turns to someone who she has only ever heard of, a legend in the PI/unofficial LEO circles: the Hyena, an unrepentant hardass and lover of women. Lucie is unenthused about being dragged all over various parts of Paris and then Barcelona on a job she didn't even want - until she meets a woman who changes all her thoughts on lovin' the ladies.

To be honest, Lucie was the least interesting part of this book - after reading her impression of Valentine and then as they investigated and got dozens of opinions on the girl, I wanted to hear more from her perspective. In the end, we only got a single chapter that culminated in something pretty damned explosive.
