      Narrator Robert Ian Mackenzie takes author Walker's perspective of provincial France very seriously. His performance is paced so clearly with unhurried summer warmth and fertile imagery that the listener is transported to the Dordogne countryside. Mackenzie's beautiful French pronunciations complete the picture. But before the listener becomes too lulled by local cuisine, excellent wines, the complications of new romance, and gardening and renovation plans, Police Chief Bruno becomes immersed in a plot that begins with the death of an elderly WWII Resistance fighter who is linked to a notorious train robbery. More murder and mayhem ensue, but not before a delectable meal and sip of a profound wine. A.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

      In Walker's endearing sixth novel featuring St. Denis police chief Bruno Courrèges (after 2013's The Devil's Cave), Bruno, who prides himself on knowing just about everything transpiring in his picturesque patch of Périgord, is stunned when the latest in a string of burglaries reveals that a retired British spymaster, Jack Crimson, has been residing right under his nose. But Bruno has barely enough time to process thisâor the pending return to St. Denis of his former flame, ambitious Police Nationale capitaine Isabelle, to oversee the politically sensitive Crimson probeâbecause of the brutal murder of a vacationing British antiques dealer. Despite distractions that include the region's always-tantalizing gastronomy, Bruno soon starts to make serious investigative headway, demonstrating convincingly that there's nothing smalltown about his understanding of human nature. Existing fans and newcomers alike will savor Walker's ability to smoothly fold suspense into his Périgordian soufflé. Agent: Stephanie Cabot, Felicity Bryan Associates.
