'RICH IN ATMOSPHERE AND PERSONALTIY ... IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO READ A
BRUNO NOVEL WITHOUT GETTING HUNGRY' New York Times Bruno, Chief of
Police, star of the internationally bestselling series of Dordogne
Mysteries, investigates the real-life disappearance of 'the most
beautiful car ever made' in this compelling case for France's
favourite cop The Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic was called the most
beautiful car of all time. Only four of them were ever built. A
California museum paid $37 million for one; Ralph Lauren bought
another; a third was smashed by a train at a level crossing. The
fourth disappeared in France during World War 2. It was the car
used by British racing ace, William Grover Williams, twice winner
of the French and Monaco Grand Prix, who became an undercover agent
in Occupied France. The latest adventure in the Bruno series of
mystery novels starts from this true story. Two young men, both
racing drivers with a passion for antique cars, compete to find new
clues as to the car's hiding place in the Perigord region of
France. When a local researcher turns up dead on Bruno's patch, and
French intelligence starts investigating the use of classic car
sales to launder money for funding Islamic terrorism, Bruno finds
himself once more caught up in a case that reaches far beyond his
small town and its people. With the bucolic charm and gourmet
cooking that are the hallmarks of this series, Bruno's latest
adventure finds him falling in love again as he races to find the
murderer and to track down the fate of the most beautiful car ever
made.
