´THE MAIGRET OF THE DORDOGNE´ ANTONY BEEVOR
Bruno, now Chief of Police for the whole Vezere valley, has an unusual challenge to rise to: teaching at his friend Pamela´s new cookery school. It is a daunting prospect - the disappearance of one of the school´s pupils almost serves as a welcome distraction.
When the woman´s body is discovered in one half of a double homicide, the evidence points to something far out of the ordinary. The other murder victim is a man, covered in combat scars and with a false passport. Investigations reveal a list of enemies as long as Bruno´s arm. Any one of them would have had good reason to kill him - but which group managed it? And how did they find him?
As more of their mystery man´s previous life is revealed, Bruno realizes that there may be more intended victims in the vicinity. Now he must conduct the biggest manhunt in St Denis´ history to find the killers before they strike again.
