'BEGUILING, EVOCATIVE, WONDERFUL ... THE ALEXANDER McCALL SMITH OF
FRANCE' Francis Wheen In the second mystery of this mouthwatering
and bestselling series, Bruno, Chief of Police of a small rural
French town, must balance local tradition and modern progress while
bringing a killer to justice. Just before dawn one summer morning
Bruno is summoned by the wail of the siren in the little town of St
Denis in the Perigord. A fire is raging in a local barn and
spreading to the surrounding fields. When Bruno arrives at the
scene, the smell of petrol leaves no doubt: it was arson. The barn
belongs to an agricultural research company experimenting with
genetically modified crops - an unpopular move in deeply
traditional St Denis. Meanwhile, a Californian producer wants to
set up a wine-making business in the valley. Despite the money and
jobs this would bring, many fear it would destroy their town. When
a violent death follows the crop burning, it looks as though
someone is prepared to do anything to stop the scheme. Bruno will
have to draw on all his local knowledge to reach the truth.
