Murder on the Left Bank (Aimee Leduc Series, Book #18) by Cara Black
A dying man steps into the office of Eric Besson, a lawyer in Paris's 13th arrondissement. For decades, the old man has been helping dirty cops launder stolen money. The notebook he carries contains his full confession. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc, so the corruption can finally be brought to light. But en route, Besson's courier is murdered, and the notebook disappears. When Besson tries to hire private investigator Aimee Leduc to find the notebook, she is reluctant to get involved. Her father was a cop and was murdered by the same police syndicate the notebook implicates, and it's possible his name might be among the dirty cops listed within it. But Aimee decides to take the case, which leads her across the Lef Bank, from the Cambodian enclave of Khmer Rouge refugees to the ancient royal tapestry factories to the modern art galleries.
