Mystery
Mystery, food, and wine in the French province of
Dordogne—the latest offering from Martin Walker, featuring
Benoît “Bruno” Courrèges.
It’s spring in St. Denis.
The village choir is preparing for its Easter concert, the
wildflowers are blooming, and among the lazy whorls of the
river a dead woman is found floating in a boat. It’s another
case for Bruno, the town’s cherished chief of police. With
the discovery of sinister markings and black candles near
the body, it seems to him that the occult might be involved.
And as questions mount—regarding a troubling real estate
proposal in the region; a suspicious, violent death made to
look accidental; and the sudden reappearance of a
politically controversial elderly countess—Bruno and his
colleagues and friends are drawn ever closer to a climactic
showdown in the Gouffre de Colombac: the place locals call
the Devil’s Cave.
With the enchanting backdrop
of France’s pastoral heartland, a cast of local characters
as vibrant as their surroundings, enough sumptuous repasts
to satisfy any literary gourmand, and a hero winningly
capable of balancing the good life with a dogged dedication
to solving the crimes that threaten it, The Devil’s
Cave invites readers to raise a glass and turn the page.
