A bumper collection of delightful stories featuring Bruno, Chief of
Police and France's favourite cop, all set in the beautiful
Dordogne valley and the ravishing Perigord region of the south
west. Here is a landscape of meandering rivers with medieval
castles overlooking their banks, of lush hillsides and spreading
vineyards, of delicious local wines and world renowned cuisine.
With titles like 'The Chocolate War'; 'The Birthday Lunch';
'Oystercatcher'; 'A Market Tale' and 'Fifty Million Bubbles', you
may be sure that champagne and gastronomy will feature as well as
cosy crime in 'Dangerous Vacation'. Bruno strides through these
tales, staying calm. settling local disputes and keeping safe his
beloved town of St Denis. Only on one occasion does he panic: in
'Bruno's Challenge', his friend Ivan, proprietor and chef of the
town's popular eatery, suddenly collapses on the eve of a large
anniversary dinner, and he asks Bruno to take over the restaurant.
After a few protests followed by some deep breaths, the inimitable
Bruno meets his challenge and saves the day.
