In his latest adventure Bruno, France's favourite country cop, investigates a long-buried war crime and faces a devastating flood that threatens the town he polices and the people he loves.

'FRENCH TOURISM SHOULD RAISE A GLASS TO WALKER'S DORDOGNE MYSTERIES' Daily Mail

The long arm of history reaches into the present in Bruno's latest case when three sets of bones are discovered, buried deep in the woods outside the Dordogne town of St Denis. It appears that the remains have lain there since World War 2. Bruno must investigate who the bones belong to and whether their burial amounts to a war crime.

Bruno has other concerns too. After weeks of heavy autumn rain, the normally tranquil Dordogne river has risen to record levels, compromising the upriver dams that control the Vezere that flows through St Denis, bringing the threat of a devastating flood.

As ever, Bruno must rely on his wits, tenacity and people skills to ensure that past wrongs don't result in present violence, and to keep his little town and its inhabitants safe from harm.

Walker has mastered the fine art of harnessing intriguing murder mysteries with paeans to his adopted country's rich history, landscape, food and culture to dish up stories with an addictive brand of Gallic charm
Another thoroughly delightful episode in the life of Bruno
Fine French food and wine in the Dordogne, laced with tasty murder and mystery provide a banquet for fans of the Bruno, Chief of Police series . . . A real page-turner
Martin Walker does a splendid job of describing the dreamy richness of life in the Dordogne and making his readers incredibly jealous they are not there
