When a British tourist fails to turn up for a luxurious cooking vacation in the idyllic village in the south of France that Bruno Courrèges calls home, the chief of police is quickly on the case. Monika Felder is nowhere to be found, and her husband, a retired British general, is unreachable. Not long after Bruno discovers that Monika was traveling with a mysterious Irishman with a background in intelligence, the two turn up dead. Was she running away? How much does her husband really know? Meanwhile, the star of the girls’ rugby team is pregnant, jeopardizing her chances of being named to the French national squad. Bruno’s search for the truth in both cases leads him in some unexpected directions—but as ever, he and his friends find time along the way to savor the culinary delights of the region.
MARTIN WALKER, after a long career of working in international journalism and for think tanks, now gardens, cooks, explores vineyards, writes, travels, and has never been more busy. He divides his time between Washington, D.C., and the Dordogne.brunochiefofpolice.com
“A mouthwatering treat.” —The New York Times Book Review“[A] deliciously food-and-wine-soaked world. . . . [And] a cast of characters guaranteed to charm.” —Wine Spectator“Unashamedly lavished with warmth. . . . The ubiquitous atmosphere of [Walker’s] books is of undisguised affection for the towns, villages, their people, their wine and their food of the Dordogne.” —Forbes
