内容简介The riveting sequel to Martin Walker's internationally acclaimed "Bruno, Chief of Police, " in which the Dordogne's great pleasures--wine, romance, and intrigue--threaten Bruno's beloved village of Saint-Denis. It's been only a few weeks since Bruno said goodbye to Isabelle, his lover and partner in justice, and a mystery is precisely what he needs to distract him from heartbreak. And that's what he gets when a research station for genetically modified crops is burned down. Bruno suspects the fervent environmentalists who live nearby, but the fire is only the first in a string of intrigues centering on the fertile soil of Saint-Denis. Soon winemakers from outside the town are competing with the villagers for its land. The town's rivals--Max, who hopes to make organic wine; Jacqueline, a flirtatious, newly arrived Quebecois; and Fernando, the heir to a wine fortune--are acting increasingly suspicious. Events grow darker and darker, culminating in two mysterious deaths. Secrets will be revealed, romances kindled, and murders solved, but Bruno will also find time for his famous truffle omelette, a community grape-crushing will end with cassoulet, and at a bonfire wake, mourners will share a whole roast lamb. A splendid mystery--and a delectable serving of the sensual pleasures of France.
