Mystery
A beloved village, a renowned family, a suspicious
death—it’s the latest adventure in the Dordogne for
police chief Bruno.
When Bruno is invited to the
lavish birthday celebration of World War II flying ace and
national icon Marco “the Patriarch” Desaix, it’s the
fulfillment of a boyhood dream. But when the party ends in
the death of Gilbert, Marco’s longtime friend, it’s another
day on the job for the chef de police. All signs
point to a tragic accident, but Bruno isn’t so sure. There
is more to the Desaix family’s lives and loyalties than
meets the eye. There is Victor, the Patriarch’s son,
Gilbert’s old comrade-in-arms and sometime rival; Victor’s
seductive wife, Madeleine, whose roving eye intrigues Bruno
even more than her fierce political ambitions; Yevgeny,
another son, an artist whose paintings seem to hold keys to
the past; and the Patriarch himself, whose postwar Soviet
ties may have intersected all too closely with Gilbert’s
career in Cold War intelligence.
Bruno is diverted
by a dangerous conflict between a local animal rights
activist and outraged hunters—as well as meals to
cook, wine to share, and an ever more complicated romantic
situation. But as his entanglement with the Desaix family
grows and his suspicions heighten, Bruno’s inquiries into
Gilbert’s life become a deadly threat to his own.
