France's favourite country cop, Bruno, faces a dangerous threat to
the town he polices and the people he protects. Loved by millions,
the Dordogne Mysteries are the perfect combination of mystery and
escapism. The event of the PĂ©rigord tourist season is to be the
re-enactment of the liberation of the historic town of Sarlat from
the English in 1370. But it all goes wrong when the man playing the
part of the French general is almost killed in the heat of the
action. The immediate question for chief of police Bruno Courrèges
is was this an accident - or deliberate? The stakes rise when Bruno
learns that the man, Kerquelin, was running Frenchelon, the secret
French electronic intelligence base nearby, after being recruited
from a brilliant Silicon Valley career. His old Silicon Valley
colleagues have been invited to stay at the luxurious local chateau
of Rouffillac as his guests to enjoy the Sarlat show. As he
investigates, Bruno discovers that Kerquelin's wound was faked,
that he is alive and well and secretly negotiating a massive deal
to build a semi-conductor industry in France. But then a whole new
and dangerous player emerges, determined to nip the deal in the
bud.
