A BookPage Best Mystery of the Year
“Thrilling and truly élégante…. Walker has created an object of desire more delectable than the festive meals Bruno always prepares for his friends.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Engagingly droll…. The icing on the gâteau is Bruno himself. Of all the cops in all the cop books I've read, he is the one whose home I would like to visit, to partake in one of his delicious-sounding meals and perhaps a bottle of Bergerac red.” —Bruce Tierney, BookPage
“[A] pleasing puzzle.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A veritable feast of world-class skullduggery. A genuine plus is the passionate descriptions of the cars and the experience of driving them. This souped-up mystery is another winner.” —Open Letters Monthly
“A feast, from scenery to food to Bugattis.” —Booklist, starred review
A pair of murders, a little romance, and rivals in pursuit of a long-lost vintage car of unfathomable value--Bruno, chief of police, is busy in another mystery set in the beautiful Dordogne. At an annual fete in St. Denis, Bruno's biggest worry is surviving in the rally race. The rally and a classic car parade are new to the festivities and draw a spate of outsiders with deep pockets, big-city egos, and, in the case of a young Englishman, an intriguing story. It's the tale of a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, lost somewhere in southern France during World War II. Among the most beautiful cars ever made, one of only four of its kind, it is worth untold millions and drives its pursuers mad with greed. As the parade begins, a local scholar turns up dead--and Bruno suspects unnatural causes. To complicate matters, a family squabble over land brings to St. Denis a comely Parisienne who turns Bruno's head. And: there's mounting evidence that the events in St. Denis are linked to international crime. As usual, Bruno's village life offers its challenges--but there is always time for a good bottle and a home-cooked meal.
