Martin Walker

When “Bruno, Chef de Police”, the first case for village policeman Bruno, was published fifteen years ago, hardly anyone would have expected Martin Walker's crime novels to be such a resounding success. Volume 16 of the bestselling series, “Im Château”, has recently been published. In it, Bruno is on special assignment: a group of old friends who know each other from Silicon Valley meet up every year for a week's vacation, this time at the beautiful, luxurious Château de Rouffillac. But beforehand, one of them, Brice Kerquelin, is the victim of a mysterious accident, and Bruno is seconded to protect the small group. But it's not just his ingenuity but also his cooking skills that are called upon.

A classic Bruno: exciting, entertaining, with a twinkle in his eye.
